@yaman -- that definately sounds like a hard crash if caps-lock no longer works. Normally the kernel produces a stack trace in association with that. It would normally appear on the real console (VT-1) when it occurs. We may get to see that stack trace if you switch to VT-1 (via ctrl-alt-f1) and then login there. Once logged in run the following command to get the maximum visible lines:

    setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Uni1-VGA8.psf.gz

Then while still on VT-1 insert the CD. If we are lucky we should see messages on the screen at that point. We would want to get that information into this bug, a digital photograph of this output is a good way to do this.
