Well. Done it. Just put a "1" here:

#ifndef VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS
#define VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS 1
#endif

and then checked syslogd.conf:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
*.=debug /var/log/debug

Well, when I had the failure, only:

Nov 10 18:51:47 pern kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
Nov 10 18:51:47 pern kernel: hdc: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears
confused (ireason = 0x 1)

Appeared on the /var/log/messages file. Time to reboot, again.
cdrom was unusable and any command trying to access it (via ioctl too)
was blocked on D state.

Bye,
Romano

(ready to test and give infos)
