Embarrasingly, yes. I'm new to this bug, but it's happening for me right now.
Running Ubuntu 6.06 (upgraded from 5.10) on a Dell Inspiron 8600 (Pentium M 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM. DVD drive is a CD R/W, DVD ROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/ide/hdc/model HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD-ROM GCC-4243N When I put in a multisession DVD, the drive spins up, then down a few seconds later. The entire system freezes. Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't get me to a console. I haven't tried any of the SysRq magic keys as I don't know them well enough. Nothing appears in syslog or kern.log after rebooting. The DVD itself is good - using Windows XP on this same hardware, the multisession DVD is readable. Using the DVD on an Acer laptop likewise running Ubuntu 6.06 (fresh 6.06 install unlike the upgrade mentioned above), both sessions are visible. So, some combination of multisession DVD + Inspiron 8600 + Ubuntu is making this crash. I am able to test more if you give me directions. The DVD is personal backup data, so I can't share it. If interest is high enough, I can try and get the author to make another one containing innocuous data to replicate the problem, and then I can share it. -- Ubuntu freeze with DVD multisession https://launchpad.net/bugs/20035 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
