| |
Hi there. This is a pet peeve that has been bothering me for years. This is the chance to "scratch my own personal itch".
Is it necessary to have the kernel print the following message to the console and syslog every few seconds:
... Apr 26 21:36:03 home kernel: sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. Apr 26 21:36:34 home last message repeated 60 times Apr 26 21:37:35 home last message repeated 119 times Apr 26 21:37:44 home last message repeated 19 times
...
This makes the console more or less unusable.
Sometimes I want to leave my cd drive empty without closing my cd app. Maybe we can have it print a few right away and then back off over time. I'll volunteer to hack this in, if there's a chance that it will make it into the "real" kernel.
Thanks, Mark
