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. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/64587 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/84603 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. -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 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
