Sticky button, I don't think so, I must have used that CD drive twice, only to run FreeBSD installation CD. Faulty hardware?

Perhaps hald/dbus -- not that there's > any reason to run those on a dedicated DB server? I am not running any of these, as far as I know, it could be an SCSI bus reset? But then it is hardware and back to the above explanation. Thanks anyway. Olivier
