Re: PROBLEM: Linux 2.6.6 completely locked up. : kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c

[Sam Gill]

 John,


>> module-init-tools      2.4.26

 may need to be updated to the 2.6.x series compatible version.

 Also growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/hdd
 is a disc-at-once command.

 If you have memory or I/O problems or
 a bottleneck anywhere in between, you should not use this method.

 In fact burning the dvd may require _all_ cpu, and
 you are better off leaving the cpu, not doing anything else
 while it is burning.

 The better method, that is a little easier for growisofs to handle
 is to make an image with
 mkisofs first, and then use growisofs
 like: growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=myimage

 do: man mkisofs,
 and it lists how to get our of 8.3 formats

 hope this helps,
  -sam
