Are you seeing this "Device  not ready" message appear over and over, or just 
the once?

I am seeing it fill up my messages log as it is logging 1 or so messages each 
minute.  I've emailed the SCSI maintainer James Bottomley twice about it but 
had no response either time.

The SCSI device I have is:

Sep  3 22:14:40 tornado kernel: Vendor: SONY  Model: CD-RW  CRX145S  Rev: 1.0b

As for the inability to log in, this bug may be relevant, given I also had 
that problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166422

There are fixes in the pipeline for util-linux audit interaction in Fedora as 
well.  I know because I reported those too ;)

The workaround by enabling audit support, but obviously a better fix is in the 
pipeline..

I'm surprised more people aren't discovering these 'interactions' due to 
having audit not turned on.  Does everyone build audit into their kernels?
