I had this problem with my CDROM way back in kernel 1.2 (1995). I fixed it by
increasing the time-out settings in the BIOS.
It also helped to move it to hdb, thus on the first controller, but I am not exactly
sure why. But increasing the BIOS settings worked more consistently.
I have not had the problem since, so I do not know of a more recent fix.
