cdemu emerges perfectly well on my system. I'm loading the module in modules.autoload.d, no problems either. loading an image file and mounting the fake device does work too. I added the following entry to my /etc/fstab (note that I'm using udev, but the problem occured with devfs too, so I don't think that's related.) /dev/cdemu0 /mnt/virtcd iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 but here it comes: whenever I try to read from the mounted device, after a short while my system freezes in a strange way: every command I issue and that does sth. to my filesystem (read or write) freezes before outputting anything. (my cp -gr command for example simply stalled at 54%) Ctrl-C'ing doesn't help, kill -9 neither. There's nothing in my /var/log/messages I then have to hard-reset my system because reboot doesn't work anymore. Please request any additional information that you require!

Same problem here.
