Now we are talking!
Rebooted with ide-cd and put in a cdrom and that irq timeout crapola
started spewing.
But then I realized I needed to try to stop the "automounter" or
whatever that hal thing is. So I pushed the eject button and waited for
error messages to clear, then topped haldaemon. And then
SUCCESS! with:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
That worked with a CDR I wrote.
I was suspicious that this reallly fixed it, then unmounted and tried
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
And those irq timeout errors happened again.
What next? Can I configure the hal or udev to get this right?
I don't really see what haldaemon does for me anyway. I suppose it
would mount a usb stick if I put it in? (don't have one, though). When I
first installed FC3, the dos partitions and unused fc3 partitions were
listed as /media/idedisk1, /media/idedisk2, and so forth. But those
disappeared, I have no idea why...

module. On the other hand, ide-scsi can mount either kind of disk.
Wonderful, I think you've made the little lightbulb come on. It had been
baffling me why this affects iso mounting and I suddenely have an idea.
Can you try ide-cd and do
mount -t iso9660 ....
with a CD-R and see if that works
Here's what I don't understand: If there is some bug in CD reading, why
doesn't it affect all Linux systems. Why just a few of us?
Some drives told to read over the end of the true media appear to report
no error and compensate in firmare, somne appear to throw errors at the
kernel in protest. Both behaviours are legal for the drive.
