[Bug 231575] Re: ATAPI devices malfunctioning

[Jesse Gilles]

After getting feedback from the linux kernel bugzilla, I worked around
my timeout errors by disabling media detection polling.  I'd rather have
a working drive than auto-mounting.

'hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0'  (assuming your device is
/dev/sr0)

Thankfully, this stays in effect permanently (even with reboot) until it
is changed and the command nicely tells you the file it creates to make
the config change.

Does this work (or not work) for anyone else?
