Yamaha CRW2100 CD Writer Problems

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have installed RedHat 8.0 on my PC. I used the Yamaha CDRW drive listed above. The install was a breeze. However whenever I put a CD into this drive my PC locks and the num lock and caps lock lights flash repetatively. I am forced to power the PC off.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers

From the description, it sounds like a kernel panic. Try flipping to console mode by holding down Ctrl and Alt then pressing the F1 key before inserting a CD and see what happens. With any luck, you'll see the exact kernel panic message and if you can describe the message to us, we may be better able to help.

It's almost definitely a kernel oops and I'll bet that he gets some message about 'mandrake kernel: kernel BUG at subfs.c:666!' or some other nonsense. My guess is the culprit is going to be supermount. Hate it.
