CDROM problems in fc3 (was Re: What I hope is not in FC3

[Paul Johnson]

Thanks.

It looks to me like somebody has already started a similar/same bug 
report for a previous edition of the kernel:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2769

so i tacked on some comments. The maintainer seems to think the problem 
should have been solved by kernel-2.6.7.  I hope the developers would 
rather have these related things on the same bug report, or else I've 
wasted their time.
