Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17
Randomly, when using my BenQ Joybook 2100, the system will just freeze.
I suppose by viewing the logs it's a cd drive related problem. The model
is MATSHITAUJ-840D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Aparently, the problem is less frequent when there is a CD (I have been
using a blank cd) on the drive.
Usually I know there will be a system freeze when
dmesg | grep hdc starts displaying
Mar 1 00:16:01 localhost kernel: [17184818.952000] hdc: drive not ready for
command
Mar 1 00:16:01 localhost kernel: [17184818.952000] hdc: status error:
status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
Also switching to a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) will get a terminal flooded
by hdc: drive not ready for command just before the freeze
** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
