There seems to be a race on closing the device that causes the system to do a hard reset (no panic) and end up in a state where the IDE controller won't access the disk, necessitating the use of the big red button. This is repeatable, at least on my system, but it sometimes requires more than one attempt. >How-To-Repeat: Use the wt driver a few times (on my system, anyway). >Fix: I haven't looked into this yet, but I figure system crashes are serious enough that they ought to get a problem report. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: wollman State-Changed-When: Thu Feb 8 08:34:59 PST 1996 State-Changed-Why: This PR is stale.
