I stick a CD in the drive that used to work fine under 7.0, I get: acd0: WARNING - READ_TOC read data overrun 28>4 acd0: WARNING - READ_TOC read data overrun 28>12 And then a hard freeze. With a different disk, the 28 is a 20, I believe. Changed motherboard when I upgraded to 7.2 (hard disk died), can't rule that out either... Steve
