Comment 13 for bug 74372

Connected all similar bugs.

Symptoms:
System hangs completely after inserting cd/dvd disc (instantly or after few seconds, only a hard reset helps then).

Present in an up-to-date 9.04, problem existed since a few releases and still occur. A drive can be used safely in Windows.

In my case, command:
sudo killall hald-addon-storage
cause the hang not to occur, but the disc isn't recognized at all then.
So it may be a kernel or hal issue.

There is nothing new in dmesg or other logs when the hang happens.

Result of dmesg | grep -i cd-rom:
[ 4.813763] scsi 5:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B DL13 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 4.826550] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[ 4.826680] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
(it is a LG GSA-4167B drive; there are 2 other reports of this bug happening while using another LG drives, but there is also: Toshiba SD-R6112 slim DVD drive and a MSI 16xDVD-Rom).

uname -a:
Linux mati-desktop 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 1 19:27:06 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Attached sudo lspci -vvnn output.

Please take a look at the case.
