I have a dell lattitude with a Dell cd-drive thats connects through a Dell only(proprietary) port. If the drive is removed while the kernel is loaded, the kernel panics and freezez the computer. I have kernel version 2.6.11 runnning Xandros 0S 3.0.2 deluxe.

If the driver itself is removed (should not do that while the computer is running), or if the CD is removed lol?

I mean the CD-Drive is plugged and the computer is booted. Then, I remove it while Linux is already loaded. Just HotPlugging.
