Bug 159541 – >=sys-apps/lshw-02.07b - hang while scanning IDE due to burning CD

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marijn Schouten (RETIRED) 2006-12-31 01:33:59 UTC]

versions 02.07b  02.08.01b 02.09b of lshw produce as only output:

IDE

and then hang or a while too, not responding to ctrl-C. Then I get back a prompt. Version 02.06b works fine.

so run it through `strace` and see where it's getting hung up

[Comment 2 Marijn Schouten (RETIRED) 2006-12-31 03:32:16 UTC]

hmm, for some reason it is working fine now. I was burning some cd's with k3b when I was using it last time. Maybe that is why it malfunctioned?

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2006-12-31 04:05:11 UTC]

yes, that would cause the problem as lshw would try to access your ide devices but the kernel would have it locked since you were writing to it

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2006-12-31 04:05:35 UTC]

this behavior is by design
