(Get the code!)
Ok, I think the problem with the system locking up when there is *no* CD in the drive is different from the bug that occurs when there *is* a CD in the drive.
Could someone who has the problem when the CD is *not* in the drive post the output of /var/log/messages? Or any other debugging output that might be helpful in comparing the two problems.
I think it might be possible that the problem that occurs without the CD is broader as it has been reported on non-i386 machines and non-ASUS/Samsung drives, but it looks like the problem that occurs with the CD in the drive only occurs on ASUS/Samsung drives and perhaps only on Feisty.
As far as installing Windows to flash the firmware of the drive, I commend your bravery, Ben. I think I'd rather stick it out with hald than install Windows, because at least that way I know what the problem is. My friend's PC just went up in flames after he installed Vista.
I'm not surprised.
