Hi!

Since I intalled 2.4.x kernel my system hangs randomly when reading my
IDE-ATAPI 40x Pioner CDROM drive. (I tryed with 2.4.1 and 2.4.3 kernels)

Just making a
cat /dev/hdc > /dev/null
or making a ls -lR will hang totally my computer in a random time
(sometimes a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes)

It doesn't hangs with a 2.2.x kernel or with a windows OS installed in the
same computer.

In /dev/hdd I have Mitshubishi CD-rewriter (4x4x20) using SCSI emulation
that doesn't hangs when doing the same things.

-2.4.3 Kernel (using Debian woody)
-I use an Aopen AX59Pro motherboard with a VIA MVP3 AGP chipset.
-Enabled in Kernel:
*VIA82CXXX chipset support
*Generic PCI IDE chipset support
*Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support
*Use PCI DMA by default when available
*SCSI emulation support
-K6-II 350 Mhz processor with 128Mb RAM.
-Vesa framebuffer installed with a RivaTNT graphcard
-52MB disk swap space.


That's the booting log
