This is the first time it has occurred, but the machine is running a very new kernel: Linux fendrian.rimspace.net 2.6.0-test11-fendrian #1 Wed Dec 10 22:25:59 EST 2003 i486 GNU/Linux The kernel was up to date as per the CVS repository at that point. This was just before the CDROM_SEND_PACKET IOCTL fix went in. There is a single ext3 partition on the machine, and it generally doesn't do very much at all, especially not disk intensive stuff. Please let me know if I can provide any more assistance in finding the source of the problem, or resolving it.
