I have a similar issue with a 'SAMSUNG SC-140B' CDROM in 2.4.latest 
and also 2.6.latest.  

hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc + hdparm -X8 /dev/hdc fixes it :(  

I updated the CDROM firmware, no change.  With 2.4.33-pre1:
syslog:
Jan  2 09:02:33 niner kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jan  2 09:02:33 niner kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04Aborted Command
Jan  2 09:02:52 niner kernel: hdc: CHECK for good STATUS
Jan  2 09:03:26 niner kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

CDROM is stuck at the moment:
root       279  0.0  0.3   1688   612 ttyp1    D+   09:03   0:00 mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom/

Should I ignore this and replace the CDROM or blacklist the thing?

The box here is a s/h thing I've had for only a month, no history 
for you.  What other testing you suggest to narrow the thing down?

Hmm, while I wrote this, the driver recovered, syslog:
Jan  2 09:18:28 niner kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x34
Jan  2 09:18:28 niner kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 60
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: status timeout: error=0x00
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command
Jan  2 09:18:43 niner kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete

Box info: http://bugsplatter.mine.nu/test/boxen/niner/ this is same 
box I tickled an oops out of under 2.6.14.5 playing with the CDROM.

Thanks,
Grant.
