Package: hddtemp Version: 0.3-beta14-1 Severity: normal The other day, I reported a bug about linux 2.6.12 to die during startup after a video card change.
At that time, I did not identified the cause of trouble. Now, I can tell the problem is caused by hddtemp and occurs when in /etc/default/hddtemp there no device specified. Which means the way hddtemp scan devices cause problem, especially when he finds a DVD player. The funny thing is the fact that this problem cause such major system failure only with a given video card, not with the previous. Before that, with the same kernel and hddtemp version, there was just an error message about the DVD player not being suitable to be monitored by hddtemp. While the bug seems caused by hddtemp, the way it scans devices, seems me to me that it should not be possible for hddtemp to kill linux this way; something is behaving differently since the video card change that should be off-limits to hddtemp. I dont know where I should post such report. I already submitted a bug report against the kernel image package, but I think appropriate to post another report, just in case the first one was misleaded and as such ignored.
