I can confirm that this is still a problem on the 8.10 CD. I installed Kubuntu 8.10 x86 from CD, and /var/log/kernel is getting filled with the following messages:

This is a laptop with a single drive, and no CDROM. Interestingly, on this same laptop on a different hard drive, I have Intrepid installed through an upgrade from Hardy (not a fresh install) and this problem does not occur there. Yes, this is still a live bug. --- SER -- sdc error message filling up entire logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
