I downloaded (using an analog modem --slow)
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386_2.6.8-3.1_i386.deb. Then I installed it and
ran it. Still the same problem. It takes about a minute after one gives
the "mount" command until the system crashes. I ran: strace mount /cd
and the last line from strace was:
mount("/dev/hdc", "/cd", "iso9660", MS_RDONLY|0xc0ed0000, 0x805d758

So the system call "mount" is made, never to return (no return value
shown). I suppose that a closing ) for the mount command is added
when the return value is written by strace. Since no return value, no
closing ) is shown above.
