Sort of off the topic, but an interesting aside here. I was thinking I had seen something in KDE to provide a fake simulation of mounting an audio CD. That turned out to be false. While I was poking, I tried kaudiocreator, which I had never looked at before. Something went wrong somewhere. It's hard to say what, without more piddling. I probably hadn't even tried to rip anything since getting this new box and doing a clean install, so there are all kinds of things that might have been misconfigured. I'm not particularly worried about that. What's interesting here is that I've been filling up my logs with messages like this: hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt for a long time now. I can't kill -9 the processes that keep trying to do this because they're stuck in "uninterruptible sleep" mode: root 16433 0.0 2.0 24012 10248 ? Ds May10 0:00 kaudiocreator silvan 16462 0.0 2.1 26016 11052 ? D May10 0:00 kaudiocreator silvan 16479 0.0 2.1 26016 11028 ? D May10 0:00 kaudiocreator There's nothing for it but to reboot. What went wrong really isn't my point though. The point is I can't even tell this is happening unless I go look for it. My kernel is spasming, and yet life goes on. This is pretty robust stuff! I guess I should reboot soon though, before I fill up /var -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
