From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) 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.

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 Additional info:
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/
