I've noticed this week whilst trying to encode a bunch of audio CDs to oggs that my boxes running the latest kernels are having serious issues, whereas 2.6.12 seems to cope just fine.
The symptoms vary. On some of my machines just inserting an audio CD makes the box instantly lock up. If I boot with the same CD in the drive, sound-juicer can read it just fine. When I get to the next CD, I have to reboot again, or it locks up. On another box, it gets stuck in a loop where it just prints out.. hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } (This line sometimes has status=0xc0) ide: failed opcode was: unknown The net result is that I've not got a single box that will read audio CDs without doing something bad, and I've tried it on several quite diverse systems. I'll try and narrow down over the next few days when this started happening, but IDE / CD folks may have some better ideas about which changes were suspicious.
