Ok, I think the problem with the system locking up when there is *no* CD in the 
drive is different from the bug that occurs when there *is* a CD in the drive.
Could someone who has the problem when the CD is *not* in the drive post the 
output of /var/log/messages? Or any other debugging output that might be 
helpful in comparing the two problems.

I think it might be possible that the problem that occurs without the CD
is broader as it has been reported on non-i386 machines and non-
ASUS/Samsung drives, but it looks like the problem that occurs with the
CD in the drive only occurs on ASUS/Samsung drives and perhaps only on
Feisty.

As far as installing Windows to flash the firmware of the drive, I commend your 
bravery, Ben. I think I'd rather stick it out with hald than install Windows, 
because at least that way I know what the problem is. My friend's PC just went 
up in flames after he installed Vista. 
I'm not surprised.
