[paranoia] major hurdle - total lockup

[Marc Williams]

I have no idea the usefulness of this but here's some hdparm output:

# hdparm -i /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom:

 Model=CD-ROM 50X, FwRev=10, SerialNo=
 Config={ SpinMotCtl Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:227,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:150}
 PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 

<p># hdparm -v /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom:
 HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
 I/O support  =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 HDIO_GET_NOWERR failed: Invalid argument
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
