I get this error many times a day! It's really annoying because the whole system locks up for 30 seconds. At lest Wanda the fish still suims and Geyes follow the mouse pointer so I have something to play with. The funny thing is that I had this problem with windows XP too since I bought the laptop! But back then I wasn't even able to see what the problem was... I will try to update the firmware soon and post the results here or in one of the 6 duplicates. I have an Acer Aspire 9424WSMi with a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
