I have an Acer Aspire 9303WSMi, with TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D drive. I'm running Arch Linux 64. I do experience both problems. I've tried to update my drive's firmware to the latest provided by Acer but that didn't help.
As far as I understand this doesn't have to do anything with specifically Feisty or Ubuntu. To keep it short: the kernel (or maybe hal) asks too many questions and the drive doesn't respond properly and that locks up the computer. -- Feisty freeze, kernel (?) tries to access DVD drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
