Folks,

I've just had two rather strange system lockups on my box - running kernel
2.2.5. Whilst using 'dd' to copy a boot floppy image off a CD-ROM on to a
floppy, the entire machine hung.

The system is running from an EIDE disk on /dev/hda, and the CD-ROM is on
/dev/hdd. No 'unusual' system activity was happening at the times the crashes
happened, and the crash is reproducable.

Anyone got any ideas? I don't even have an oops to go on...

Peter.
