While reading slashdot, I found this comment interesting (yes, that does happen on slashdot :-) ) http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=83579&cid=7310813 "Why is Linux trying to send a flush cache command to a CD-ROM drive in the first place? That's a stupid thing to do. The ATAPI FLUSH CACHE command tells the device to flush its write cache to the media. A CD-ROM has no write cache, and can't write to any media. Of course, it's even more stupid for a drive to self-destruct when it gets a flush cache command..." Is this maybe 2 bugs "working together"? Using FLUSH_CACHE where it shouldn't, and have the cdrom reading that as UPLOAD_FIRMWARE -- Marcel Pol
