New Age Music can kill FC4. So can EMI CDs. And a few DVDs.

Tried a "Copy Controlled" EMI crap CD yesterday, it made current FC4 
kernel panic (2.6.12-1.1387_FC4). Turning off haldaemon while inserting 
disc helped, since hald (or gnome-volume-manager) tries to do neat stuff 
before the drive is finished initializing the corrupt CD. This kernel 
has also paniced on me with certain DVD movies. I suspect it's the same 
problem. Very annoying. =) . Will file bug report if it isn't gone in 
the next kernel release (which I'm hoping is soon, current kernel has 
been the buggiest I've experienced on FC4 so far, on my laptop).

Btw. I was able to rip the CD using cdparanoia, but it certainly took a 
while.

Øyvind.
