Looks like the bug is caused by the buggy cd/dvd drive firmware. I crossflashed my drive and voila - everything works just great. No freezes, no lockups, everything runs just great. You must use SC03 firmware. If anyone wants to try out flashing the drive - I took instructions from another bug report here

The only thing I did in other way is that I used dos flasher instead of windows flasher, because windows flasher didn't seem to work for me.
Looks like the drive which is poking around is TssTcorp TS-L632D. I presume all of you have it too. Take a look at k3b and you'll find out which model you have.
If you decide to flash your drive - be extremely cautious - bad flashing can damage the drive! Please do it at your own risk.
