After compiling the recent linux kernel (2.2.9), I've been getting an error
message which I have included below.  I get it at boot time and it continues
printing in an infinite loop.  Also, the computer seems to be trying to access
my cd-rom drive (Toshiba scsi, /dev/scd0 linked to /dev/cdrom). Running power
computing powerbase.  Anyone ever got a similar error message that can offer
any suggestions?  Everything works ok in linux vers. 2.2.6-ac3.

I get something similar on my S900 dual 180Mhz machine with a Matshita CD. 
It seems more likely to happen when I'm cold booting up my machine, but
can also happen after launching from BootX in the Finder. I noticed it
after I moved to the 2.2.6 kernels (I'm currently using 2.2.6-15apmac.) 
Sometimes I have to reboot several times in a row before it gets past the
CD which is target 3 on my internal SCSI bus (MESH) 

I just noticed this morning that I cannot mount anything in this CD drive. 
I have a CD-R drive at target 5 on my external SCSI bus that can mount CDs
fine, but the CD drive mentioned above gives I/O errors and can lock up
the machine if I try to mount it or run od on it too many times. I don't
know whether this happened with earlier 2.2.x kernels because I haven't
had to mount anything in a while. This CD drive mounted fine under the
2.1.x kernels.
