Yeah, I've had lots of CD-ROM reading errors myself. I believe there is
something wrong with 9.0's supermount. In my case disabling supermount
immediately fixed the problem. The problem was only occurring on certain CDs
as well, but it would happen reliably with those CDs. Others always worked
fine.
To disable supermount:
supermount -i disable
To enable it again:
supermount -i enable
