Comment 41 for bug 75295

l7or, thanks for your report, the problem you are describing is
exactly the same as mine: every 5 seconds the messages

May 16 20:05:31 notebook ide: failed opcode was: unknown
May 16 20:05:31 notebook hdc: drive not ready for command

Regardless of which terminal I'm looking at. At the same time,
hald-addon-storage uses 100% CPU, and it takes some time for me to be
able to sudo to kill the process. Afterwards, everything is back to
normal. The hard drive activity light is also on (solid) while, and
sometimes after, hald-addond is at 100%.
I don' t have a Samsung drive; I have an ASUS DVD reader and a SONY
DVD recorder. I don't think they use the same chipset, but if you want
to continue to investigate in that direction, I can check to see which
chipsets they use if it will help you isolate the problem.
