Then your issue doesn't sound like mine.
I believe those errors are generic 'read' errors,
your question is why are you getting them.
I get mine because ever since kernel 2.6.9 (on both FC2 and FC3),
I can no longer burn CDs... 2.6.8 and earlier works fine.
So because I can't burn CDs (correctly) they are bad when I try to
read them, and hence the/my errors.
