I have the same problem occuring on my machine - AMD Athlon XP 1600+ /w 512MB RAM on a nforce2 mobo running Linux Mint Daryna - which is essentially gutsy gibbon at it's core.
The problem happens to me when I try to burn a second or third DVD in a row... the system just hangs for 4 secs out of 5 with hald-addon-stor taking up most of the proc. It actually gives the proc. to growisofs now and than (I've tried burning with sys guard proc monitor open to see what happens), and than after a few minutes it settles down with hald- addon-stor taking 46% and growisofs 46%... if I kill hald-addon-stor the comp unlocks immediatelly but I loose access to the drive and the DVD I was burning is unusable - I already have a load of coasters. I am using LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1P KL05 (/dev/hdc, ) NOW HERE'S THE PART NOONE MENTIONED B4: I don't think this is strictly drive related - I have been using this burner in another comp for the past few months on the same software setup - and it gave me NO TROUBLE WHATSOEVER!!! Only now that I've swapped some hardware around have I started getting this problems... and wasting $$$ in failed DVDs.... I've tried booting with all-ide-generic but it didn't make much difference... All the solutions I've seen here will help me unlock my comp one way or the other, but if I realise correctly, they will all also break my burning process - essentially not helping me much - I will still mess up every other DVD burn I attempt... -- 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
