Same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/75295

Compaq Evo-N1020v with TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SN-S082D

Had firmware SS02, which always froze with:
laptop kernel: [16427.604000] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
laptop kernel: [16427.604000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown

Over and over again. sudo killall hald-addon-stor fixed it temporarily

Upgraded firmware(had to use windows) to SS03 and I haven't had the problem again(so far).
