However, it's designed only to show on ioctls that do medium requiring things. I'm also using FC9 and I see no such messages (and for noisy cgc, they're printed out for every action on the CD). You have some application that's poking the CD wrongly (probably not hal), so you really need to find out what it is. It may be pointing to some other error in the kernel that needs fixing, but simply removing the message is covering up the issue. To help track the application, you could update the printk to print out current->comm and current->pid. That would tell you who is responsible James -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
