OK - and the magic trick was... rebooting. of course. I still remember
how to do that from my Win95 days. I didn't do anything else to solve
the problem other than post a PO'd message to this list and make an ass
of myself, maybe that helped.
I was able to make a coaster with k3b. But now it looks like there are
"DriveReady SeekComplete Error"s on /dev/hdc (the CDROM drive) and "cmd
0x28 timed out" - but once DMA is disabled it works. Is the CDROM drive
failing?
