The problem turned out to be a broken DVD rewriter, I took the rewriter
out and the problem went away. However, there was no indication that
this was the problem, it was a pure fluke that I discovered it. So
although the bug has been marked invalid, there is in fact still a bug:
the kernel should not hang indefinitely due to a bad DVD rewriter
controller.
Of course this kernel is now two Ubuntu releases out of date, so the
chances of anyone wanting to follow this up are probably very small :-)
