Is this an audio CD with copy protection or does this happen for all kinds of audio CDs? If it's the former, I guess there is nothing, we can really do about it besides encouraging you to not buy copy protected audio CDs ;-) Some copy protection uses defect sectors which purposefully tries to screw up the operating system and as a side effect can cause your computer to lock up. I would also say, this is a kernel problem then and not a hal problem. It's only triggered by hal because hal tries to access the media to find out what contents are on the cd.
