Erik,

The problem he's describing sounds like the same one I have that we hunted
down a couple of weeks ago (the changes in fs/isofs/inode.c between 2.1.101
and 2.1.102).

Sorry, I'd been meaning to send this to the list since I can't tell from the
Maintainers file who does isofs (is that you, Gordon?) but then got busy
with school and forgot about it. At any rate, the changes to
fs/isofs/inode.c between 2.1.101 and 2.1.102 break cd-rom access for me and
a few other people. They cause mount attempts of the cdrom to hang forever
(on all cds, which work fine under 2.0.x / 2.1.x where x <= 101 , so it's
not a problem with the images being bad). This is still true as of
2.1.122-pre2. So far, I haven't been able to narrow it down any farther than
that set of changes. Isofs people, please ask away if you need more info.,
have magic patches, etc.

thanks,
chris
