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

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. -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
