    parselogs.py: ignore intermittent CD/DVDROM identification failure
    
    We don't use the CD/DVD ROM drive in any of our tests, but it
    periodically fails discovery and that leads to a QA error:
    
        [    6.403477] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
    
    The only way to disable the optical ROM drive in qemu is to use
    the '-nodefaults' option, which disables the CDROM (among other things).
    We can't be sure that none of our tests, or extended users are relying
    on default devices, so using that option is more of a risk than adding
    the message to our ignore list.
    
    To date, no one has sent a patch to just disable the optical drive
    (either in qemu or the BIOS), but that is something we could consider
    in the future.

Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2021-09-03 08:09:11 UTC 
This happened again:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/72/builds/3960/steps/15/logs/stdio

with the patch applied. Looking at the patch I think it needs to be for both qemux86 and qemux86-64 in the common section?
Comment 3 Richard Purdie 2021-09-03 08:24:07 UTC 
I've sent a patch to move it to common section.
Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2021-09-09 14:47:25 UTC 
RP thinks we should get qemu upstream to remove the floppy disk controller.
The parse log issue has been fixe dbut keeping this defect for more work.
Comment 6 Ross Burton 2022-05-05 15:02:43 UTC 
No, that's just PS/2 devices.
Comment 7 Randy MacLeod 2023-07-26 21:22:05 UTC 
Bulk move of 64 bugs to 4.3 M3 after a quick review.
If a bug is actually fixed, please add a commit link and resolve it.
-- Randy for YP bug team.
Comment 8 Trevor Gamblin 2023-09-14 16:45:06 UTC 
Moved to M4.
Comment 9 Randy MacLeod 2023-10-30 15:29:08 UTC 
Bulk move to 5.0 M1. -- Randy
Comment 10 Randy MacLeod 2023-12-21 23:28:31 UTC 
Bulk move of 52 5.0-M1 bugs to M2.
Comment 11 Randy MacLeod 2024-01-25 14:28:45 UTC 
Bulk move of bugs owned by "unassigned" from 5.0-M2 to 5.0-M3.
Comment 12 Randy MacLeod 2024-02-22 19:53:20 UTC 
Bulk move of bugs from 5.0-M3 to 5.99.
The bugs in this list are all unassigned and are ones that I consider to be nice to do some time but not essential track from milestone to milestone in 5.0 or 5.1. We agreed on this bug handling approach in the YP bug review on Feb 22, 2024.

If you disagree, please move back to a 5.[012...]-M* milestone.
Comment 13 Richard Purdie 2026-04-30 15:35:14 UTC 
We stopped seeing that error and removing the FDC turns out to be quite tricky so we are unlikely to bother now.
