Yup. I've used the very same drive under 2.0.32, 2.1.72, 2.1.84, 2.1.89 and 2.1.90 with the same result. With 2.1.90 or newer you can use the new cdrom interface to force the speed of the cdrom drive to say 2x or 4x wich will at least _avoid_ the problem. I get error-free reading under those conditions. There is a program (and debian package) called setcd you can use.
My guess this is a hardware problem (to small buffer (256k)?)...
