We'd like to do an eject eventually, but that's going to require some changes in the underlying infrastructure so that we can pass control back to the initramfs to do the eject. Not going to happen for F7 Jeremy, did this happen for F9? Should we punt again? Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 446709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Okay, this is going to be tied in with some of the changes we have pending for Fedora 10 around upstart. We need to have a way to drop in things to run "late-ish" during the shutdown process but prior to running /sbin/halt so that we can eject when there's only a bare minimum set of things left to do. Or perhaps even adding the support to halt/reboot itself to do this eject if given the appropriate argument In any case, definitely needs to be handled for F10. Great! This feature is really helpful because if you need to take the CD out then you need to poweroff, eject and poweoff (usually in mid boot) the PC again :( Did the hack in /sbin/halt.local for now. It's not as reliable as if we get the support into /sbin/halt directly per the bug that's blocking this, but it'll do for the moment. First time commenting so please let me know if this is not useful.
Live CD ejected when issuing shutdown from GNOME menu but produced error messages and did not shutdown system.
System: IBM NetVista desktop (real desktop, not tower) vintage 2000/2001, Intel P4 1.8 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM
Using F10 Live CD build (from uname -a):
2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.i686 #1 smp mon jul 21 20:51:26 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 gnu/linux
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot off Live CD
2. Select Shutdown from GNOME menu
3. Comfirm Shutdown on dialog box
4. Observe Device Not Ready on sr0 I/O Error dev sr0 sector 1386872 messages
(sector alternates with 1386876)
5. Remove CD from tray
6. Close CD tray
7. Wait. System stays in this state
8. Press <enter>. No result
9. Press ramdom keys. Keys echo on display but no further action.
10. Power reset. System boots normally.
I feel the above maybe a result of a CD drive failure. As soon as I can replace the CD drive I will retry. Sorry for wasting your time. Works for me on F10 Snap2. |
