You are told that this is a CD-ROM media problem. Try reburning. Using CD-R media instead of CD-RW sometimes helps.
Bad cable also produces similar errors in dmesg, but you can differentiate between these cases: the CD-ROM drive makes specific "re-reading" noise and slows itself down to 1x speed with bad media, and doesn't do so with bad cable.
If reburning and replacing the cable doesn't help, and you have a free 1.5 GB partition, you may want to run the LiveCD system from that partition. The (very easy) instructions for doing so will be sent to you personally on the following condition: you unsubscribe from lfs-support and blfs-support mailing lists and agree to be banned from #lfs-support IRC channel for a month.
I have to impose such condition because these instructions were abused more than once (a person thinks "that's already LFS, let me continue with BLFS from there" and asks for BLFS support before completing LFS on his own).
