What happens is that the machine goes through the booting system, mounts the
cdrom and then soon after, it just locks up.
Doing a right-alt-scoll-lock combo said it was stuck around EIP c01e17a2
which is the handle_abort_timeout function, in the Sony cdu31a driver.
To comfirm this, I recompiled changing only the fact that the cdu31a was now
not compiled in, its working fine (I'm using it now). Of coure I have a
currently useless cdrom sitting here now.
So there's the info. If you need any more let me know. The problem is
that the machine hangs, not even a kernel panic.
