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