usb dvd won't read and causes freezing of desktop

[frednet]

I'm having trouble getting my external USB DVD working on aarch64. There is no problem until I put a disk in the device but then it starts making clunking noises and the desktop keeps freezing. I've tried several disks, some audio and some data, with the same result. I know the device works ok on other computers, the adapter is $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Bus 001 Device 126: ID 13fd:1040 Initio Corporation INIC-1511L PATA Bridge') and is recognized by the kernel $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 3707.187074] usb-storage 1-1.1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected

Is anyone else experiencing this?
