Kernel 2.6.16 and before did that fine, but kernel 2.6.17 and above don't and give error messages. Which explains why downgrading the kernel solves the problem. (If it were a HAL or KDE/ GNOME problem then shouldn't downgrading the kernel *not* help?) Just thinking aloud ... I believe the problem is not that the kernel is providing an error, but that it is providing an error which is taken as "DIDN'T WORK THIS TIME, BUT TRY AGAIN" rather than a permanent error. Asking every media-consious application to be rewritten is perhaps not the best solution, either return another error, or return what application expect (non-error but no data??) Changes which break a large number of applications are probably ill-advised. > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: S.?a?lar Onur > To: Ismail Donmez > Cc: Alan ; Rakhesh Sasidharan ; rakheshster@yahoo.com; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org > Sent: Saturday, December 9, 2006 8:09:05 PM > Subject: Re: VCD not readable under 2.6.18 > > 09 Ara 2006 Cts 16:15 tarihinde, Ismail Donmez ?unlar? yazm??t?: >> Well my bet is xine-lib is buggy somehow as I can reproduce this bug with >> kaffeine ( KDE media player ). > > Same symptoms occur with mplayer also, dmesg flooded with warnings, what about > hal or KDE's cdpolling backend? > > Cheers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
