Comment 11 for bug 119258

I have noticed the same hard lockup as the original poster in Ubuntu gutsy / 2.6.22-14 generic. My hardware is also similar: Core Duo processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.60GHz with an Intel 965 motherboard. Can reproduce every time I've tried so far -- which is pretty unpleasant. Doesn't seem to matter whether or not I tell K3b to eject the DVDR. ( It surprised me when it locked up after I had attempted to disable automounting CDs/DVDs, and told K3b not to eject the media. I'm pretty sure that the setting was not selected originally, when I started having problems. Gnome-toaster doesn't can burn the DVDs successfully (without freezing the system), but it doesn't have the features I need (namely, it won't burn "relative" soft links).
