Comment 24 for bug 117441

I can reliably reproduce this. Whenever I put in a DVD it will lock up. Maybe not immediately but within a half hour or so, definitely before I finish watching the DVD. I have, seemingly, been able to prevent the lockup by killing the hald-addon-stor process after putting in a DVD. This particular process references my DVD drive in the command line arguments 'hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hdb (every 2 sec)'. After stopping this process I can reliably watch an entire DVD without a problem. I believe that I had problems auto-mounting the DVD if I popped the DVD in after killing the process, but I can manually mount it fine. So it looks like it is a HALD problem.
