Hmm, that's unfortunate. This suggests the end_request error really is relevant to the hang. I'll now grasp at straws. For a more rigorous response log a bug with the guys who made that kernel build. 1. see if there is a BIOS version update. 2. see if there is a BIOS setting for "disabling" the floppy drive, even though it isn't physically present. 3. if the system has hald running, (obviously with a working kernel), then try disabling polling on the non-existent floppy drive ... % sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/fd0 -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
