back-trace on mounting ide cd-rom

I got the following errors and back-trace upon mounting my IDE CD-ROM (hdc). It seems to be a normal ISO9660... its the Red Hat 9 CD.

I haven't looked into it yet. Not sure why there is ext3 stuff in there... maybe the CD-ROM mount is unrelated? Mounting the CD subsequent times is OK.

Kernel is 2.5.66-mm2. UP, preempt, no highmem, i686.

Here we go:

Ideas?

weak guess: maybe mount is trying to auto-probe the filesystem and the ext3 code gets upset on cdrom. are you using -t iso9660?

ah, my new debug code is buggy. It is legal to wait upon a zero-ref buffer if that buffer's page is locked.

diff -puN fs/buffer.c~a fs/buffer.c

 		buffer_error();
 
 	do {

That fixed it (or it is not reproducing itself).

Thanks, Andrew. Glad to be of service.
