Audio CD hard locks system

Hello,

Whenever I attempt to play a particular audio CD, the system completely hard-locks. Due to this locking, I have been at a loss at how to even go about determining what the problem might be. I am running 2.6.22-gentoo-r5, and the CD plays just fine in Windows on the same box.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Does the CD have DRM which can confuse Linux? Shouldn't happen, but you never know.

If you look in /var/log/messages after the computer hanged itself you might get some idea about what went wrong. It may have logged something.
