You did the right thing, but when going out of sleep, it crashed before the ADB driver was fully up again, so you couldn't type. It's a known problem with the Alsa drivers in 2.4, though I haven't looked at it nor tried to fix it yet, as I really don't have time for that now (I don't use Alsa in 2.4, I find it too messy) Ben.

It came back fine, and they ddn't charge me the $50 which I assume meant that the harddrive didn't need to be replaced. Does anyone know if this problem is fixed in newer benh kernels? I've been absolutely paranoid of sleep since this happened. As far as I know, there is no sleep patch bug.

Some think it was just a bad batch of logicboards that Apple got. There may be a bad capacitor, or solder somewhere that wears down with use and time. That may be why the iBook works fine for 10 months, then wonks out. I was told that the cables going to the LCD are (were?) badly protected, and if the insulating plastic wears out, you get short circuits. This sends some stray signals to the motherboard that cause the hang/crash/... What you could try is put the ibook on a stable surface, and backup over ssh, _without touching it while it is running_, since any movement can trigger the problem. Frank

As a side note, I had the exact same issue on my powerbook 15 (1Ghz). It went down for good after a long sleep on a ben-9 kernel, but I had been noticing the first symptoms (like the display not coming up at all, or getting all messed up in yaboot or after) occasionally for a while before that, and it started well before I got your first sleep-patched ben-8 kernel on it. So it seems mostly unrelated to the sleep code in that case as well, and besides, there was a girl at the Apple Care Center who had the same tibook, the same issue, and only used OS X...

If that works, then you can talk to your CD drive OK. I dunno. Is artsd what KsCD's trying to use to play sound? What does KsCD do when you try to play your CD with it?

Re: Don't have /dev/cdrom
/dev/hdc is probaly setup with mode 660 (owner can read and write, group members can read and write, others have no access). /dev/hdc is likely owned by the 'disk' group (run 'ls -l /dev/hdc' to find out for sure).
