Description Dan Elder 2005-10-04 01:36:30 UTC

When haldaemon is enabled on my system (/etc/init.d/haldaemon) I get swamped
with messages in /var/log/messages and dmesg like:

Oct  3 18:32:22 god kernel: ATAPI device hdc:
Oct  3 18:32:22 god kernel:   Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
Oct  3 18:32:22 god kernel:   Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
Oct  3 18:32:22 god kernel:   The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
Oct  3 18:32:22 god kernel:   "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
"Oct  3 18:32:24 god kernel: ATAPI device hdc:
Oct  3 18:32:24 god kernel:   Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
Oct  3 18:32:24 god kernel:   Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
Oct  3 18:32:24 god kernel:   The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:

It doesn't seem to really affect anything besides filling up logs.  Discs are
still mounted automatically and everything else works fine but hal is using some
command which my drive doesn't like.  I'm using a Compaq Presario R4000 latop
with the following drive:

god:/etc/modprobe.d # hwinfo --cdrom

If I turn off hal I stop getting any messages.

I forgot to mention that if there is media in the drive the error messages go
away as well.  I can provide any additional information as needed.  I'm running
with 10 GM now.
Thanks,
Dan

Created attachment 52076 [details]
Quiet down known error

Some drives generate a bad media warning for the capacity read command if no
media is inserted, quiet it down.

Patch committed, will be in the next SL10 update kernel.
