This looks as if your /etc/fstab is set to mount your cdrom on boot. When
you leave a music CD in the CDROM it tries to mount the CD as a data disc
(isofs filesystem) and it fails because the CD's format is unexpected. That
is what the above messages mean. As to the messages about the PCI bus being
not 100% native, I get the same thing but suspect they are informational
messages and not errors (Can someone else comment on this?).
Hope that helps...
