Hello, I am wondering if you have had anytime to look at the CD/DVD mount issue with the newer 3.2.etc debian kernel as of lately? I have posted in some other places and have gotten none or limited response perhaps it is not a large or important bug. I think it's to bad after upgrading the system to kernel 3.13.etc there is no longer ease of use to utilize the CD/DVD drive on any debian based computer using the newer kernel. Debian bug report #72978 post #50 did not seem to help at all. After reboot and a new DVD is inserted system is again not able to read/load the disk properly. links are below https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725978 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753379 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725978 Below is the /etc/rc.local file as edited on a debian based system I have running the 3.13.0-24-generic kernel <--which I have tried this enables kernel polling. It seems to work on the system temporarily but fails to read after the same disk is mounted a couple times. #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. echo 2000 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs exit 0 It does work temporarily but upon a couple power cycles it fail's again. Besides even with the above line added the CD/DVD drive acts like it's reading the media differently 'takes longer to read' than prior with the 2.16.etc debian kernel. I got your response back as you would consider this to be a small bug already in a prior post. 1. I wanted to reiterate that this is how you consider this situation to be small bug? 2. Should I be looking at something as far as Udev is concerned also? 3. Why after kernel polling is enabled in /etc/rc.local and a couple power cycles it fails to read the disk again? Your thoughts and time are appreciated.
