Do you have hal configured to poll your cdrom drive every two seconds, to see 
if a disk is inserted? And if so, is the verbosity logging cranked up way

I haven't personally had to fix this myself (so can't give pointers on where 
to fix it), but it seems to be a common occurrence judging from posts I see 
here and at other forums.
