CDRW causes Thinkpad T41 to panic

[Kent Hauser]

Hi,

Thanks for the input. After disabling the "hotswap" interrupt via the Thinkpad 
PS2 command at the suggestion of "Nikolay Denev" <nike_d at cytexbg.com> 
(at least I think that's the interrupt I turned off...), I now sometimes get 
further in my boot. Now it only normally panics at startup -- an the message 
is as follows:

ad0: 35293MB <HTS548040MAT00> [71707/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
ata1-slave: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY no interrupt

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

frame pointer = 0x10:0xd6c3db90
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                     = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
eflags  = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 2 (g_event)
kernel: type 12 trap, code = 0
Stopped at mtrash_ctor+0x3a: movl 0x20(%eax),%eax

When it doesn't panic, I get a status buffer overflow message & I can't mount 
the CD.

Any thoughts appreciated (including how to get a crash dump at this stage in 
the probe).

Joachim, are you in Hawaii too?
