If i start k3b while cdemu is loaded, k3b stops at "scanning for devices", and my whole system freezes. if cdemu is not loaded, k3b works fine. If i don't try and start k3b, cdemu works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -avt k3b cdemu 2. modprobe cdemu 3. k3b & Actual Results: system freeze when k3b scans for devices Expected Results: cdemu/k3b work anyway, or at least print a warning of some description.

The freeze happens at kernel level, so cdemu is probably to blame. vapier should know more about cdemu.
known issue with last release, read the cdemu mailing lists
yeah i figured it was a cdemu problem.. as you say its evidently a kernel-level freeze. thanks i'll wait for new cdemu to appear in portage :)
