acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out

[Scott I. Remick]

Ok, I need help again. -questions hasn't been able to help me, nor has 
Google, so I'm hoping someone here can.

I built a new computer using an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard. I have a 
Samsung SH-S183L DVD+RW connected to one of the SATA ports on the 
motherboard associated with the Intel ICH8R controller:

acd0: DVDR <TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SH-S183L/SB01> at ata3-master SATA150

I'm running 6-STABLE. Data CDs (pressed & CD-Rs) seem to work fine, but 
with audio CDs I'm getting all sorts of problems. From the surface, they 
appear as hangups, momentary freezes to lockups that last several minutes 
before the computer becomes responsive again. Some applications (CD 
players, rippers, etc) don't even recognize that there's a CD in the 
drive. Or if they do, it's only for a few moments.

I looked at /var/log/messages and here are what I see when inserting an 
audio CD. This is without having any CD apps loaded (although I do use 
Gnome):

Code:

Oct 14 21:32:27 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 
21:33:03 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 
21:33:39 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 
21:34:52 desktop last message repeated 2 times Oct 14 21:34:52 desktop 
kernel: (cd0:ata3:0:0:0): cddone: got error 0x5 back

Those errors repeat themselves every few moments/minutes, over and over.

One idea I had was to upgrade the firmware on the drive itself, so I 
updated it from SB01 to SB02 (latest) and that didn't help any. I've seen 
lots of people ask this question, having the same issue but no real 
answers or solutions. I've tried numerous CDs so it's not a problem with 
just one. These are very old CDs so they predate any copy-protection 
methods that could be causing this.

Any thoughts?
