kern.log filled with errors when DVD in drive

[Daniel Bonniot <Daniel.Bonniot@inria.fr>]

Hi,

As soon as I put a DVD video in my drive, kern.log starts filling up with:

Aug  7 20:41:35 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: status=0x51 { 
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  7 20:41:35 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: error=0x54
Aug  7 20:41:35 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: status=0x51 { 
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  7 20:41:35 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: error=0x54
Aug  7 20:41:36 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: status=0x51 { 
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  7 20:41:36 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: error=0x54
Aug  7 20:41:36 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: status=0x51 { 
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  7 20:41:36 localhost kernel: hdd: packet command error: error=0x54

It seems to be at this fixed rate, e.g. 4 lines/second. Reading the a DVD with 
xine works fine, and there are no problems with CD-ROMs or audio CDs. A search 
on this list did not show up any relevent info.

What could be going wrong?

Here is some system info:
