Thius is all well and good however I have a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S183L and it has the latest firmware, so I can;t upgrade.
I think the point is being missed here that a bug in the driver is causing this problem, and flashing the cdrom drive to stop a hard disk from freezing up is a workaround whatever this bug is. I hope the fact that flashing some cd drives works around the bug isn't stopping this bug reaching the correct developer. Also it appears that any time the HAL is triggered (ie plugging in a USB flash drive etc) stimulates this bug apparently. -- 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 the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
