Comment 22 for bug 379780

I too am getting this bug on the Karmic release version. The only reason I'm reporting is that it's happening on my /dev/sdb1 IDE hard disk root partition, not a DVD-ROM/CD-ROM.

A "sudo stop udev; sudo start udev" seems to stop the stream. Karmic kernel: 2.6.31-14-generic; udev: udev_147~-6

Snippet of "sudo udevadm monitor --environment" off a fresh boot (fresh UDEV actions seem to happen roughly once every 10 milliseconds aka 1/100th of a sec):
