first of all, sorry if i pos this on the wrong list, but i'm kind of in
a hurry :(

i was listening to an audio cd with xmms, when it just stopped (probably
scratched CD), and kept trying to read the cd... the cd-rom led is still
blinking (for more than 1 hour), in the beginning my compuetr stopped
responding for 3-4 secs every ~30secs, now it runs fine, without
stopping...

pressing the eject button is useless
"eject -f acd0" kind of died, it had no effect and didn't terminate
until i closed the terminal i started it from... after that, kill -9
eject had no effect, but after a few mins the process died by itself...
umount -f says it's not mounted...

i have an uptime of many days, wouldn't want to reboot....

any ideas, suggestions? 


tks in advance,
ANdrei
