I have similar problems with my drive (TSSTcorp TS-L632B in a Samsung X20 notebook): When I insert a blank DVD, my system (ubuntu 7.04 generic-kernel) gets extremely slow for about 1 minutes and burning afterwards is not possible.
But: - CPU-Usage stays low while not responding and there is only a temporary freeze - It does read all non-blank DVDs without problems. - CD-writing and burning works fine In Addition, I'm sure not to have a hardware problem, as it still works with older kernels. One (perhaps important) notice: With linux-image-generic 2.6.20-16.28 the problem seemed to be gone. The new -16.29 version has the bug again. But I was not able to reinstall the old .28 kernel, in order to verify this. How could I do this? Do you need any more information, as given in the attached archive? Should I open a new bug or is this the right place? ** Attachment added: "some errors and logs" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8043397/bug-report.tar.gz -- 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
