| |
I have a P-75 with 3 IDE hard drives, and Adaptec 1542 scsi controler connected to a Philips CDD 522 CDR. I built the 2.0.7 kernel with no problems, booted up, and have been running for several days with no real problems. However, I began to notice stalls in various places and under different conditions. I finaly noticed that whenever a stall would happen, the activity light on the CD would blink, blink, blink. If I were trying to access something off the CD I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not. The CD is mounted on /cdrom. I have had the stall/blink,blink happen in the following situations:
less /etc/modules blink, blink, blink <listing>
While in Midnight Commander at the prompt: df <listins> press any key to continue... <keypress> blink, blink, blink mc window refresh..
pppd blink, blink, blink <prompt returns> <chat dials out> ------------------------------------ end examples ---------------
Now, none of this is anything more than mildly aggrivating, but it bothers me that this activity is occuring. None of the trigger events have anything remotely to do with the SCSI subsystem or the CD. What is causing these unwarranted accesses to the CD?
Any ideas?
