So, I have a stupid question. Why in the world is hal polling a cdrom anyway? Can't it just listen for open/close events and check the drive then? Is the problem that nothing generates these type of events? I know people seem to have settled on this being a kernel bug, but could we perhaps convince hald to play nicer?
