I disabled the ide_cd & cdrom kernel drivers yesterday and I haven't had freeze problems since then. I know that it's not a solution, but just a temporal workaround for those of use who want to use our laptops. This is what I did:
WARNING! The following steps will disable the cdrom in your system! 1. Add this lines to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases : alias cdrom off alias ide_cd off 2. Add this to /etc/rc.local : (the order is important in this case!) rmmod ide_cd rmmod cdrom 3. Reboot the system, and next time you boot, check that "lsmod | grep cd" don't give any line with ide_cd or cdrom. NOTE: If it doesn't work, check that you have no CD/DVD in the drive while booting. ¿? -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
