Hello
Yes, bug 487811 afflicts me too, it's not really kernel-dependant.
It's absolutely impossible to use dosbox with that:
read(5, "# /etc/fstab: static file system"..., 4096) = 806
read(5, "", 4096) = 0
close(5) = 0
munmap(0xb781b000, 4096) = 0
stat64("/dev/cdrom", 0xbfc6030c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/dev/hda", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(3, 0), ...}) = 0
open("/dev/hda", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK
Needless to say, this never stops, dosbox never starts.
I would recommend to move it over to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libsdl1.2
and mark it "grave".
It should not eb a problem to put something like this into
SDL_SYS_CDInit(void) of src/cdrom/linux/SDL_syscdrom.c,
making it at least possible for those affected to completely
turn off cdrom-detection without recompiling.
SDLcdromNone = SDL_getenv("SDL_CDROM_NONE");
if ( SDLcdromNone != NULL ) {
return(-1);
}
(yes, and I'd hate to need to recompile myself, the bloody piece
wants me to install libarts1-dev which will deinstall jack2 and
install all kinds of outdated bogus, including qt3-dev)
Regards
Peter
