During some CD operations Fedora freezes for some seconds

[Joachim Backes]

Hi,

having a weird effect (in F16, [F17 too]): during some CD operations,
ejecting  for example, or clicking on the CD symbol by nautilus if a new
CD is inserted in the drive, my system freezes, so my desktop is
insensitive for some seconds.

Somebody sees this too, and how to get rid from this effect?

All answers are welcome.

Kind regards

No, and it smells like a hardware issue to me – either your CD drive or
the cable is probably dodgy.

Is there anything in /var/log (probably in /var/log/messages)?
