Oops, my guess was completely wrong as Lennarts answer shows :-P
The most likely problem in that case is that your CD drive does not like
the default DMA setting in the kernel.
You can try if that's the case by switching to VT2 (use alt-F2) after the
error and give the following commands:
# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings
(check that the current value for using_dma is "1")
# echo "using_dma:0" >/proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings
