I have the same problem with Ubuntu 8.04 on a Thinkpad R30. The hard drive light stays solid and if I flip over to another terminal window I get the hdc: drive not ready for command line over and over. Seems to happen randomly, but I know its happening when bootup takes longer and the hard drive light is solid with no actual hard drive activity happening. Also, when this happens there is a blank disc icon on the desktop, but there is nothing in the CD-ROM drive. I'm using the 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP kernel and both my bios and OS are up-to-date. Anyone have any ideas?
