Comment 13 for bug 119258

stormzen,
What make & model of optical drive(s) are you using?
Do you get something similar to the following in your dmesg when this problem occurs?
++++++++
[928823.133216] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[928823.133218] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[928823.133221] hdc: drive not ready for command
++++++++
Does your PC freeze permanently or do you get small windows of opportunity where you can move your mouse pointer briefly before the next freeze cycle begins?
If you don't do any burning do you eventually get this problem with or without media in the drive?
Thanks.
