As to what Ben Edgington said:

Now I don't have any more lockups because I just disabled the DVD drive as I said above (dramatic but works like a charm). But I have to point out that in my Smsung R40 Laptop it *did* freeze even with no media inside the drive.

Any Ubuntu kernel developers hang around here? ;-) It seems that there are a lot of users with the same problem, but no developer showed up yet. Is this bug taken care of ?

Brian Murray:
Sorry, I don' have an interesting /var/crash at the moment, maybe someone can check it after executing a workaround (pick one ;-) after a lockup.
