Package: libsdl1.2 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable
This is actually Bug 487811 reported on Dosbox: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487811 Afflicts all kernels above 2.6.27-something. This happens on starting dosbox: read(5, "# /etc/fstab: static file system"..., 4096) = 806 read(5, "", 4096) = 0 close(5) = 0 munmap(0xb781b000, 4096) = 0 stat64("/dev/cdrom", 0xbfc6030c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/dev/hda", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(3, 0), ...}) = 0 open("/dev/hda", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK And stays there. And gets you an un-killable process hanging: root 27380 0.0 0.0 5124 664 ? D Dec10 0:00 udisks-daemon: polling /dev/hda Proposed Fix: Add an environment variable: It should not eb a problem to put something like this into SDL_SYS_CDInit(void) of src/cdrom/linux/SDL_syscdrom.c, making it at least possible for those affected to completely turn off cdrom-detection without recompiling. SDLcdromNone = SDL_getenv("SDL_CDROM_NONE"); if ( SDLcdromNone != NULL ) { return(-1); } -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36.1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
