Description of problem:
When no cdrom is mounted,  /var/log/messages fills with :
    Aug 23 08:56:58 sleepy kernel: sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync msgout:
1-3-1-c-10.
    Aug 23 08:56:58 sleepy kernel: sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync msg in:
1-3-1-19-f.
    Aug 23 08:56:58 sleepy kernel: sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync: per=25
scntl3=0x30             scntl4=0x0 ofs=15 fak=0 chg=0.

Running cdparanoia on one particular cdrom causes kernel crash -- might be
unrelated to the above cdrom problem.

When I reboot into Redhat 6.1, these problems go away.
My cdrom is: Vendor: YAMAHA    Model: CRW6416S          Rev: 1.0c
Win2K reports my SCSI controller is a Symbios Logic 875XS|D:  2280X
/var/log/messages shows:  sym53c8xx: 53c875E detected with Tekram NVRAM



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot system
2.insert cdrom into drive  - no new messages appear in /var/log/messages
3.eject cdrom   /var/log/messages fills with a continuous stream of
messages as                           described

Aug 28, 2001.  I discovered that the steady stream of scsi error messages going
into
/var/log/messages when there is no CD in the CD-drive stopped when the
application gtcd (CDPLAYER) was stopped.  Similarly I found it necessary to turn
off the program that attempts to automatically mount CDs when they are inserted
(Using GNOME Control Center to turn off CD Properties/ Automatically mount CD
when inserted.).

There are still occasional scsi error messages when new disks are inserted in
the drive.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
