My first guess would be a bad CD-ROM drive.

Subject: CDROM errors on RH8
Hi all
I have a stable RH8 install on IBM xServer232. NO recent changes.
No evidence of outside tampering. I have suddenly seen the following
errors in response to the typed commands. I would note that the CD
itself is good and is iso9660 and can be read by several other Linux
installs (FC1, FC2, SuSE 8 & 9.1)
/etc/fstab appears to have the correct settings.
[root@rgeserv1 root]# dmesg | grep hda
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x0840-0x0847, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
hda: LTN486S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide-scsi: hda: unsupported command in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0
[root@rgeserv1 root]# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
I also get this error if I type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
or
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom
I am not sure where to start looking since the built in IBM diagnostics
don't demonstrate any errors that I can find. Can someone give me some
suggestions as to where to continue looking?
TIA
Bob
