i have a plextor cd-rw drive which i use via scsi emulation, it is the
only device on my second ide bus.

often when i rip cds with grip that have scratches, grip completely
stops responding to input and signals, even -9 wont go through. today i
tried waiting for over half an hour for it to terminate, got bored and
quit X. the grip process died after doing that but the kernel's scsi
layer kept spewing error messages on my console and my machine "lagged"
on about 10-15 second intervals a few seconds at a time. i waited over
an hour for it to give up, but it didn't so i had to reboot. kernel
version i'm using is 2.4.17.
