Hello,
As you are writing something about croshflashing an ASUS-drive with Samsung-Firmware, I assume that freerick's ASUS drive is an identical version of a Samsung-drive. This would support my thesis that the error only occurs with drives manufactured by the Toshiba/Samsung (TSSTcorp) company, with the ASUS drive just having another label on it.

The problem I'm seeing here is that noone (including me) suffering from this bug really seems to know enough about hal, the linux kernel and optical disk drives... I actually think that we will have to wait for long if we don't ask the hal-developers and the linux-kernel-developers for help. The bug occurs with different linux distributions and I think that we should try to file a hal/kernel bug. As I'm currently working hard for my exams I won't have the time to file the bug somewhere else (is there a bug-management-system for hald?) during the next days, so you'll have to wait for some more time or file the bug by yourself.

Regards,
Lorenz
