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
