Yes, I have also had this problem. It has been going on for years, overdue to do something about it!ETP wrote:Bug report:
An intermittent issue present in this version and also in previous versions is a hang
at boot time with the message "Recognising media devices.....optical". Only a hard reboot
fixes the issue which I would say occurs about 5 to 10% of the time.
The text comes from the block of code starting at line 566 in rc.sysinit and my gut feeling
is that it is some kind of timing issue.
Looking at the code in rc.sysinit, there is only one line that could possibly hang:
Code: Select all
[ "$DVDTYPE" ] && hdparm -d1 /dev/$DVDTYPE >/dev/null 2>&1
