Any thing which would affect the CD-ROM. I'd try and mount it after a clean boot, and it would hang. I could then not recover that session. If I logged in on another vc, I would see that the mount process had been in a d-state, and a few minutes (literally) later, a kernel message would pop up saying device timed out (cd0). >I guess the AVA 1515 is the one with BIOS ROM and other circuitry >while mine (the AVA 1505) has no BIOS end decoding circuitry. The 1515 does have the bios rom - for all the good that it does. --khg
