I was building a FreeBSD Desktop system...
I started with v4.2 release, updated to stable
and installed the KDE2 port. When I tried to
play any CD's using the KSCD program the system
would freeze up. (Must press RESET to reboot)
If I start TWM-Window Manager rather than
the KDE2 environment, KSCD will play fine
with no problems.
I deinstalled KDE2,
CVSupped again to v4.2 stable (Early Jan 01)
Deleted kde* in /usr/ports/distfiles
and installed KDE2(.0.1)
The system still locks up (completely) when
I play Audio CD's. The lockup would occure
at some point if I did nothing to the system
but would usually occure faster if I moused
around or opened another window (even xterm)
I installed another CD Player Port to test but
got the same problems.
The CD is going into the MotherBoards Second
IDE port. It was set to slave. I changed
it to master but got the same problem. The
system has two IDE hard drives on the primary
IDE port.
Still plays fine under TWM-Window Manager.
In the process of building the perfect desktop...
I removed KOffice suite and tried to copy
the StarOffice52 files from a CD that I put them
on into /usr/ports/distfiles...
The system locked up again.
I reset, rebooted and started X with TWM.
Attempted to copy files from CD to "distfiles"
the system locked up. I tried again twice
without X loaded. Lockup each time.
Where should I look?
Mother board
CMOS settings
The system was bought used $160.00 and is a
Pentium 133.
I don't have the system in my possession so I
can't give the normal info. Based on what I
listed above I don't think it could be the
software.
Thanks in advance for any help...
