I just upgraded my desktop to 2.6.31 and this started happening. I believe it's exactly the same behaviour as described by this ancient thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=5693
There's no actual hard drive activity as far as I can tell -- nothing interesting in top, nothing waiting on I/O; system looks idle.
Likewise, ejecting and closing the door on my CD drive makes the light go out and blink normally (with actual drive activity) again. (There's no CD in the drive; just opening and closing the door seems to reset something.)
I doubt this could be a loose cable or anything hardware-related, as it's never happened before and started happening exactly after the reboot into the new kernel.
Anybody else seen this?
