Comment 47 for bug 484677

I always had this issue with Karmic. Now I looked in /etc/fstab to see if I can find anything out of ordinary there and found this:
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

It seems to be normal. At least I know that that was put there during install automatically, because I never ever touched the /etc/fstab file.

But, shouldn't the optical drives be handled by some automounting system? Then why is that entry in the fstab file? I tought I'll give a try and commented that line out to see what happens. Tada! Now when my machine boots up I do not see those ureadahead messages (altough I do see the fsck messages - these messages were always visible along with the ureadahead messages), and my DVD drive also haven't stopped working.

Can anyone give an insight on what's this about?
