FAQ
===
Q: I keep getting stuff like "kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device
sr(11,0)" in my kernel logs, what's up ?
A: The kernel IDE code contains a bug so that every time a program
asks if there is a CD-ROM drive in the drive, and there is none,
this message is printed. Quick fix, remove the lines that look like
this from fs/block_dev.c in the kernel sources:
printk(KERN_DEBUG "VFS: Disk change detected on device %s\n",
bdevname(dev));
or in /etc/syslog.conf, add a line like:
kern.debug -/dev/null
which will put all the debug information from the kernel (including this
recurring line) to void.
Q: Why did you choose VideoLan as the default DVD player ?
A: Multiple possible answers to that:
1) Why not ?
2) It has a GNOME GUI (yeah, but so does ogle !)
3) It was the only DVD player which didn't hard-code /dev/dvd as the
DVD device.
