I was able to get this to fail on a stock 6.0 install. Using tail -f /var/log/messages, I noticed that when you stop a music cd, it is reporting the following error: Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: hdb: packet command error: error=0x54 Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: ATAPI device hdb: Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05) Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: Invalid field in command packet -- (asc=0x24, ascq=0x00) Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: The failed "Mode Select" packet command was: Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: "55 10 0e 00 00 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 " Jun 7 15:22:53 mrhanky kernel: Error in command packet byte 256 bit 4 I forgot to respond to this earlier... The bug doesn't happen with the 2.2.9 Linux kernel. It also doesn't happen with updated versions of the cdplayer_applet from the gnome-core package (right now I'm using 1.0.5). I am guessing the crash problem was in the kernel... However, the CD player applet still polls the CD-ROM drive incessantly. Does Linux have any way to automatically "wake up" a process when a CD-ROM drive is inserted, to avoid this silly situation where an application has to either continually poll the CD-ROM drive to see if there's a CD in there, or it has to be told explicitly by the user? Unable to reproduce. Will keep an eye to see if problem resurfaces for user. |
