I talked about them a while ago. One was taking my trusty 1″ spade bit and drilling a new hole between the living room and family room. I had a hole, but it’s full with 2 DirecTV cables and a phone cable for the TiVo. The new hole is to run an RCA audio cable between the family room receiver and the living room receiver. I had this running through the doorway on the other side but that was suboptimal. The cable is now out of the way so I’m much happier, not to mention the wife. [...] [...] I had several projects over the last few days. I talked about them a while ago. One was taking my trusty 1″ spade bit and drilling a new hole between the living room and family room.

I spent several days playing with kernel modules from various places and loading them in various ways. Finally, this morning, I got it right: load sg.o first, then cdrom.o, then sr_mod.o. It’s not actually easy figuring out what’s been compiled into the kernel and what hasn’t on the Kuro Box, but I looked at my old blog entry and an entry in the forums and realized I had gotten the CDROM working with only the stock kernel modules from the Gentoo distro, not the extra modules like ide-scsi.

And also I had a problem with metaflac not tagging my first 50 or so discs. [...] [...] I complained a lot about freedb and how it was kind of sloppy.

Since this happened before I tried to be systematic. One thing I noticed is that the drive and CD were again unusually warm. Perhaps after ripping many CDs at 56x or whatever, the drive gets too warm and starts making trouble. This time, instead of rebooting I just stopped and started the abcded daemon, which cleaned up abcde properly, and then restarted it. [...] [...] Some point yesterday, the CD drive hung ripping a CD.
