FAQ #1: To get rid of those messages, please upgrade to libc-5.2.18
for ELF and libc-4.7.6 for a.out and recompile all of your statically
linked binaries. Slackware 3.0 is old stuff you know (that's why I use
Red Hat 3.0.3, which has a good user base and developer support, as
well as readily-available contrib RPMs for Red Hat to work with the
newest kernels. He he.).

Okay, I admit this one isn't a FAQ. I have no solution for this one, I'm
afraid. You might want to look at Documentation/cdrom/mcd* for some
pointers on command-line parameters to get your interrupt settings right.
Otherwise, this is a kernel bug...
I'm sorry I was harsh on you. You should take the time to read the
files in the Documentation/ subdirectory before posting old, known
changes. And believe me, a LOT has changed in the 10 months between
Linux 1.2.13 and Linux pre2.0.14.
