Here is how I deal with the problem so far: the workaround here: http://www.liddicott.com/~sam/?p=79
doesn't really do it for me, because when I start getting this messages and the system is half frozen, my DVD burning is already failed and I'll have to throw away yet another DVD and restart the process. Now, after every burn I reset the ATAPI drive with: sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc (to turn DMA on again) -- 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
