I'm quite disappointed that my ATAPI-Cdroms can't be mounted right with the 2.1.120 kernel...the bug appears, when the drawer of the cdrom is open, and i then
try to mount this cdrom...of course with a cd on the drawer.
It only gives a message that the cdrom ist not ready....and then the mount hangs. But the thing that makes me worry about is that the mount-operation cannot
be aborted, even with kill -KILL. And when shutting down the system hangs too...when umounting local filesystems.
Then on next boot all partitions are checked for errors..I've tried it several
times, the failure is reproducible.
With the 2.0.xx kernel the cdrom closes the drawer when i try to mount it.
The error also occurs if the cdrom is closed, CD in ..but the CD is not yet
initialized by the cdrom.
I think it's only a matter of adding a branch in die appropriate driver and if
the cd is not ready yet..wait some seconds...or close the drawer if it's open.
I would do the patch on my own, but i don't really know where to look for the
right files to patch.
Thx for a fix in advance :),
Rainer
