I have Asus A6JC notebook with our famous TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L632D drive.
After updating from Edgy to Feisty release (the kernel was 2.6.20-15-generic) I
had a problem with random freezes when hald was running and CD drive was empty.

The workaround was to kill/stop hald-addon-storare or put some cd/dvd into
drive.
Few days ago there was kernel update (to 2.16.20-16-generic) and the above
problem dissapeard. I could have cd drive empty with no freezes.
But when I once put a CD my feisty just hanged after few minutes with lots of
[ 681.880000] hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[ 681.880000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[ 681.880000] hda: drive not ready for command
in the output. And it happens almost every time I have a CD/DVD in drive. It
freezes my system so hard I don't even have a chance to get CD away or kill
hald.
I didn't notice these freezes when cd in drive is running (for example I watch
a movie or listen to audio cd).
I tried to update firmware (from AS05 to AS99) but it didn't help.
