This bug is annoying to me since Ubuntu 7.04 and affects accesses to the hard drive periodically (my computer: Samsung R65 notebook). Until 9.04 I was able to avoid it by disabling the CD drive polling (sudo hal- disable-polling --device /dev/sr0), CD drive seems to influence the occurrence, but since I installed Karmic (yesterday) this is without effect.
