I have the same behaviour with iso images mounted on loopback since some
time ago. I thought it was just my problem. At first it stucked when I
tried to mount it. Now it mounts fine but I can't access anything there.
The problem seems to appear only for big iso files. The system becomes
unusable(no response from proccesses which are trying to access the disk).
Alt-PrintScreen-P shows IP: c0111af0
Quote from my System.map shows:
c0111890 t wake_on_busmaster
c01118c0 t acpi_idle
c0111b40 t acpi_enter_dx
c0111b70 t acpi_update_clock
So it must be somewhere between acpi_idle and acpi_enter_dx. But that's
normal I think because my system is in idle state.
Any ideeas?
