Sine a few months I'm having the new problem that my BlueRay drive goes crazy
once dracut or GUB2 updates the bootloader: The BlueRay drive (with a boot CD
in it) spins up, makes noises as if continually relacibrating, and everything
seems to hang, and pressing the ejct button does not work for a long time
(>30s). Eventually when the tray opens, dracut continues, and the the update
finshes.
My suspect is that the kernel (or dracut or some related code) tried to access
the medium past it end, and the drive does not like that.
For a recent occurrence the kernel messages look like this:

A similar effect happens when I plug in an old Sandisk Cruzer U3 stick that
