Hey guys,
This is the first time my Linux system crashed. It's a sad and scary thing. From Gnome, I launched kscd and everything stopped for awhile, then CPU and mem usage just shot up like crazy! But it eventually popped up. A few seconds later i issued a 'urpmi cdrecord' and it prompted me for the installation disks. I insert one, close the drive bay, it reads and then surprise: my speakers eek out a loud BUZZZZZ, very very loud! I try to get out of X but there's no response. Everything just stopped and I had to reset the computer. I have no idea what it was but it scared my pants off. Now everytime I pop in a CD, the same thing happens -- CRASH! major, man! Here's the log of that incident: Jan 21 09:57:46 lucifer gnome-name-server[741]: name server starting Jan 21 09:57:50 lucifer gconfd (jal-749): starting (version 1.0.4), pid 749 user 'jal' Jan 21 09:57:50 lucifer gconfd (jal-749): Removing stale lock `/home/jal/.gconfd/lock' because of error pinging server: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 Jan 21 09:57:51 lucifer kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

Checked all the cables. 2. Checked the soundcard. 3. Checked possible resource conflicts. Result is the same for cdplay, xine, xmms, and all Window Managers (irq timeout) What do I do now? That CDROM has been very reliable up to that point.
