[Bug 74372] Re: System freezes when inserting a CD/DVD

[Marcin Chady]

It took me a while to figure out why my system froze for no apparent
reason, until I found this bug. In my case, the system doesn't always
freeze when I insert a DVD, but it happens most of the time. I tried
turning on the SATA compatibility mode in my BIOS, but it didn't help.
What did help was not using my ASUS DVD-E616A3 (which is an IDE drive),
but only using my other drive, the Sony DVD RW DRU-V200S (which is
SATA). That one reads disks without a hiccup.

It would be nice to have this bug fixed, but the biggest thing for me
was identifying the issue so that I can work around it instead of
stumbling into it randomly and suffering much frustration. I hope others
can find this helpful too.
