This is probably kinda stupid; I had the same problem and I switched
from Gnome to KDE. Not sure why everything works in KDE now, when they
didn't in Gnome... Maybe things will work with Gnome, when they won't
with KDE.

I do not know, why but this machine only has KDE, and it was working fine. Suddenly the weird messages starting appearing and I tried to open k3b and it hung. There were no devices found /dev/hdc and/or /dev/hdd since there are two drives one DVD/+R-R+RW-RW and a cd+r. I could not even boot live linux cd's when before there were no problems.
The problem exists only on this machine. Will see if problem goes away.
Thanks,
Antonio
