Some further data related to this problem. I went into /etc/modules.conf and changed the line "options ide-cd dma=1" to "options ide-cd dma=0". Since doing this, I have not seen the system hang, even with a lot of CD-R writing or verifying going on. Unfortunately, with DMA turned off, the system clock loses time at a significant rate during CD-R burning or verifying "diff -qr" or "cmp" operations. Sure, ntp gets things back in sync, eventually. However, it is pretty irritating to have the clock off by several minutes after burning a CD-R. With DMA turned on, I never noticed this kind of clock losing time. Can anyone suggest an option that eliminates the time loss while not subjecting the system to the lockups associated with DMA CD operations? Thanks!
