What do you mean? Which kernel messages do you see? Which kind of CDROM
drive?

Sounds like broken CD drive or bad CDROM.

Copying how? Do you have any problems with differen IDE modes, for
example? Overclocked hardware?

Not a boot-floppies problem.

Please report this as a bug in xserver-xfree86 or nvidia-kernel-src.
