I have been having problems with my Panasonic CD-ROM and playing audio
CDs. After playing a CD for a while, the kernel appears to hang in some
system call; whatever program I was using to control the CD will lock up
(and cannot be killed, even by a kill -9).
Occasionally, but not always, this will be followed by a message in the
system logs reading something like: ``matcd0: get_stat: After reading
status byte, bus didn't go idle f2 fd 230''.
The CD-ROM's ID string (as returned by the kernel) reads: CR-56225.00
Is this likely to be caused by the lack of support of some Panasonic drives,
or is it more likely a bug in the driver?
