Hi Steffen Zahn,

>Jun 4 18:21:04 zahn linux: Kernel panic: Matsushita CD-ROM controller #1: block not locked

I suppose it is a compiler bug. I saw it sporadically with gcc-2.7.0,
and it seems gone under gcc-2.7.2.
Under 2.7.0, I could eliminate it by just putting additional, but "neutral"
statements around that "decision spot" in ll_rw_blk.c.

Cheers -e
