Just wanted to add a "me too" to what Eduardo Robles Elvira said above.

Symptoms identical. Systems identical: Samsung R40, TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L632D DVD drive.
OS is now Feisty. Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic.

dmesg repeats:
[11017.124076] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[11017.124083] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[11017.124090] hdc: drive not ready for command

Under Edgy system would lock completely about 10mins after inserting a CDROM or DVD and require a hard reboot. Under Feisty I get the same intermittant access that others report, with hald-addon-storage or mount taking all the CPU cycles (on one or both CPUs). Killing the offending process cures it for a while. If no CDROM/DVD is inserted the system performs flawlessly.
