Whenever I shut down, I get this annoying error message about "hdc" and the other day when I tried to eject my pcmcia cards, I received the following message in /var/log/messages. Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'm running mdk 2.2.16-9 on a Gateway 9100 laptop. -ben Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 cardmgr[385]: executing: './serial check ttyS1' Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x50 Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: ATAPI device hdc: Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05) Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: Invalid field in command packet -- (asc=0x24, ascq=0x00) Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: The failed "Start/Stop Unit" packet command was: Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: "1b 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: Error in command packet byte 4 bit 0 Aug 3 11:37:06 astrolap1 kernel: cdrom: open failed.
