Hi! I am trying to isolate a nasty k3b problem without any success so far. Maybe someone from here can help. The problem is, that certain actions on k3b freeze FreeBSD completely. After some seconds, the computer reboots. Some user reported this, so it is not bound to special hardware or FreeBSD 5.2.1 versions. I tried to put some printlns into the k3b code, but the results never made sense. I guess, that the freeze prevented the buffered debug text from beeing displayed. So I do not know, how to find the "crashing line". Note that this never happend on FreeBSD 4.x! There are two ways to kill BSD (5.2.1): -start PC with an empty CD drive -start X -start k3b -load iso Image (creating a new data project works as well) -no cd in CD drive so far! -burn -The "Load Eject Force Cancel" Dialog pops up; FreeBSD freezes -automatic reboot after some time Another way is: - Insert a blank CD - While the cd LED is flashing (drive is testing cd), press the cd drive icon (to get the drive properties) Any ideas are welcome.(Continue reading)
