The problem is only when a CD is not inserted on the unit, if you have a CD 
(music, data), it boots normally.

This is somehow related to the "TIMEOUT - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE 
retrying (0 retries left)" bug a few days ago. With that version, it didn't 
boot if a CD wasn't inserted (now it boots, but with the error).

This are the messages:

without a CD:

with a CD inserted:
