So, mount is acting funny.
Symptoms:
This uses 100% CPU and does not exit. Happens with any CD, and the CD spins out while mount is still running. It does not happen with DVDs.
Code:
$ mount -f -v /mnt/cdrom
/dev/hda on /mnt/cdrom type auto (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
Here, the -f switch means "fake" and -v "verbose". The manpage says "do everything except for the actual system call". This exits fine.
fstab: (device, mountpoint, filesystem, flags)
Code:
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
This happened... somewhere between yesterday and the day before, and all I did was run emerge --upgrade --newuse --ask --deep world overnight. The packages updated were these:

What I have tried:
Recompiling mount (actually, recompiling coreutils)
Recompiling the current kernel (gentoo-2.6.21-r2)
Compiling a newer kernel (now have gentoo-2.6.21-r3)
Recompiling udev and device-mapper
Restarting the system several times between software changes (as if it works for linux...)
My guesses:
mount gets stuck in the system call (since mount -v -f exits)
It's a problem with iso9660 filesystem kernel module (since all other mounts work OK, even DVDs)
What stands out in the 3 days ago box are a new udev and a new device mapper.
