CDROM drive problem since using kernel in unstable

[arief# <arief_m_utama@telkomsel.co.id>]

Dear Debian-Kernel team,


After switching to unstable, 
I've always failed to read from my CDROM for:

1. Video CD
2. Some data disk

While it's ok to read:
1. DVD Video
2. Audio CD 

In the log I can see that it's always spit out Drive Seek Complete Error
0x51 something... whenever it tries to play the VCD. 

I'm using:
- Thinkpad T30, 
- CDROM detected as [HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8082N, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive,
ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)]  
- kernel 2.6.17-1-686. 

Tried kernel 2.6.16-2-686, and it also failed. Tried ubuntu also with
kernel 2.6.12 and 2.6.15, still failed.

Can you give me pointers on what's happening here?
Is there any known fixes or patches I can try?

Thanks in advance.


All the best.
