Linus is away so I am just throwing this out on lkml..
This error message is uber annoying and needs to go. Non-root can flood
the console with this junk on invalid SCSI CD-ROM ioctl(), and that is
exactly what gnome-cd does.
An illegal ioctl() returns an error to the program. That is sufficient
- we do not need KERN_ERROR warnings all over the place. Especially
when any user can cause them at any rate.
This patch, against 2.5.51, removes the message.
