I can acknowledge that Crossflashing the drive firmware on my Acer
Aspire 9410 solved the problem. The drive is still fully functional.

ThanX.

Subject: [Bug 84603] Re: Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running 
and optical drive is empty 

Looks like the bug is caused by the buggy cd/dvd drive firmware. I crossflashed 
my drive and voila - everything works just great. No freezes, no lockups, 
everything runs just great. You must use SC03 firmware. If anyone wants to try 
out flashing the drive - I took instructions from another bug report here 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/64587 
The only thing I did in other way is that I used dos flasher instead of windows 
flasher, because windows flasher didn't seem to work for me. 
Looks like the drive which is poking around is TssTcorp TS-L632D. I presume all 
of you have it too. Take a look at k3b and you'll find out which model you 
have. 
If you decide to flash your drive - be extremely cautious - bad flashing can 
damage the drive! Please do it at your own risk.
