Another "me too". Feisty 32bit
Acer 9303 Laptop, AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 CPU
- TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L632D DVD drive
- 2.6.20-15-generic kernel

hald-addon-storage uses 100% CPU, with or without a disc in the drive.

dmesg output:
[16598.216000] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
[16598.216000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[16598.216000] hdc: drive not ready for command

Workaround (temporary): hdparm -w /dev/hdc
Alternative workaround: killall hald-adon-storage
