Hmmm... the problem could be caused by hald polling for media presence.
Does "hal-disable-polling /dev/srX" make any difference?
hal-disable-polling setting is persistent so if your drive goes bonkers
quickly after boot, you can disable polling, reboot and see whether
anything is different. Also, please post the result of "lspci -nn" and
"hdparm -I /dev/srX" && please try 2.6.26.
Thanks.
