Subject: Vendor specific cdrom error messages

I got the following error trying to burn a DVD on an IBM USB2 DVD-R burner:

Nov  7 11:40:36 makani kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks 
I recognize!
Nov  7 11:41:59 makani kernel: sr 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 
0x8000002
Nov  7 11:41:59 makani kernel: sr0: Current: sense key: Data Protect
Nov  7 11:41:59 makani kernel:     ASC=0x27 <<vendor>> ASCQ=0xff

This is on Fedora Core 4 and kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.

It turns out that this is because the drive did not have enough power 
(it was not plugged into the separate ac adapter).  I was able to 
determine this by booting into Windows, which gave me a nice descriptive 
error message.

I was wondering if it makes sense for the kernel drivers to know these 
error messages and report better errors, of it should be left up to user 
space tools.
