Hello,

I could not find anything similar in the news, using google or any other
documentation, therefore teh mail.


[1.] One line summary of the problem:    

Kernel Panic and mount problems since 2.4.2, machine works and worked
properly with kernels < 2.4.2 and 2.2.x


[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

When I do a

	mount /dev/scd0 /mnt

I get

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
       or too many mounted file systems

or repeating the mount command I sometimes get:

/dev/scd0: Input/output error


When continuing to work on the box after a short time I get

kernel: Kernel panic: DMA pool exhausted


[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

kernel panic mount DMA pool


[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 2.4.3 (root@rfhome) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024
(release)) #1 Mon Apr 2 21:20:59 MEST 2001


[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information 
     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

sorry, no info


[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)

see [2.]

I know e2fsprogs and util-linux are not completely up to date. Sorry if
this is the complete problem. But at work at least two boxes work with
this setup w/o any problem.

[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
       (please look in /proc and include all information that you
       think to be relevant):

System works and worked w/o any flaws since months with kernels <
2.4.2. Reverting e.g. to 2.4.0 is absolutely fine. 2.4.3 was configured
using .config from 2.4.0 and running make oldconfig (as always), always
selecting the default. No device filesystem used.


[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:

Sorry. Tried different methods, but it always crashed. I do not know if
the mount (isofs is module) command causes the trouble, but testing it
once more is risky, because I already lost a few files on root fs because
of the panic/crash.
