Comment 16 for bug 242638

I still have this problem in intrepid with the current kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic x86_64.

When I press the "eject" button, the light turns green (signaling that it is okay to remove) and the cd drive is no longer mounted, however it freezes as soon as I pull the level and actually unplug the laptop from the dock.

This is not a regular freeze either, it is more severe. ctrl-alt-backspace does not work, ctrl-alt-f1 does not work, and alt-printscreen r,e,i,s,u,b does not work either. The only way to restart the laptop is to remove the battery or hold down the power button.
