Hi,
the described bug was present on my HP nx6325 with TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D as well. I use openSUSE 10.2 and tried many different (vanilla) kernel versions up to 2.6.22 and a lot of kernel parameters without any success. The problem occurred very often after usage of the DVD drive (shortly after spinning down), but also from time to time when I did not use the drive at all.
===Solution for me (might void warranty):===
A firmware update for the DVD drive from version HH15 to version SC04 fixed the problem for my notebook. The bug did not appear once in a test period of several weeks with low drive usage.
At the time of the update, no official firmware update was available for my drive. Instead, I downloaded the SC04 update for another TS-L632D drive from the Korean web site of Samsung, extracted the firmware image, and flashed that using another version of sfdnwin which permits cross-flashing. Please note that this cross-flashing is not recommended by the manufacturer and might render the warranty void.
Regards,
Andreas
