I also had problems like this on my nc6220 laptop starting with gutsy, often when moving the laptop the system hang for a bit and activity in the (empty) cd drive could be heard.
Since upgrading to Hardy this seems to be over, only very short breaks if at all when moving the laptop to access the cd drive. -- Hard disk I/O randomly freezes when hald is running and optical drive is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
