|I've recently posted a problem I've been getting with my CDROM not working |under kernel 2.6. Under 2.4 it works perfectly. I've got some more symptoms |which are very odd & scary. I should point out that I have been through the |CDROM HOWTO to try to nail this but to no avail. The one part that I |couldn't get to work in the troubleshooting section was "Can you read data |from the drive?". I ran: | |# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null bs=2048 | |the green CD light went on but no data was read. I couldn't Ctrl-C out and |the only way I could stop it was pushing the eject button on the CD itself. |Then, and only then, lots of these these messages appeared in syslog. Are you perhaps fighting an automounter process for access to the CDROM? --
