The beta3 on alpha released with a 2.4.24 kernel. Could I ask you to test out a more recent daily snapshot, to confirm for me whether this bug still exists in the 2.4.25-based images? Since I have no SCSI cdrom's at hand, I can't exactly test for this, though I'm happy to work on debugging the code if that's where the problem lies. If it turns out to be a gcc optimization problem, I'm afraid I'm out of my depth where debugging kernels is concerned. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
