Your system tried to read a Video data block. The usual cure for this
problem is to remove Gnome, or at least kill all the Gnome stuff and flip
to init level 3 then mount the cd from the command line.
The kernel is correctly reporting it was asked to do something stupid.
Older kernels would fail to report many of these errors due to a bug in
the ide-cd reporting logic.
