at first I would try the latest kernel from unstable:
linux-image-2.6.14-2-amd64-k8_2.6.14-3_amd64.deb

your cdrom is configured and recognized as IDE/ATAPI drive /dev/hdc.
However, the next few lines indicate a problem with the drive access:

Since the drive is working OK if you boot with a cd in the drive, it
does'nt seem to be the drive that's broken.
