Bah! It's happened again to my system. It was fine this morning when I left for work, but now hald-addon-storage is stuck waiting on Disk IO (state of D). I looked in the log and the only thing I noticed was that the ide-cd system received a lost interrupt and timed out errors on both devices (hda and hdb). All I have on there are IDE CD-ROM drives and they are both empty...
Anyone have enough experience to hazard a guess as to whether I have a drive going bad or if it's the controller? Or could the timeout errors be unrelated?
