This one is old one. I get it sometimes since 7.0
(perhaps, 6.x affected too) on my desktop and it sometimes repeats
with 8.0-BETA2 too (GENERIC kernel). It's some kind of race condition
because it does not always hang, but often enough to be annoying.

There should be a media in drive to make it happen, blank or written.
