Hi gyus,
i got a problem...(do not know how/when did it started though).
I cannot mount CD roms...(i do not speak about automounting)
Here is what "dmesg" tells:

sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code
sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : 0x4 [current]
sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] ASC=0x3e ASCQ=0x2
sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] CDB: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 00 00 e6 2a 00 00 02 00
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 235688
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 29461

I got more or less the same problem with almost all my data cds (i do not
use audio ones)
Also, i cannot even mount them manually (via mount /dev/cdrom0 <dir> or
/dev/sr0/ <dir>)
But one or two, mounts normally. (I use pcmanfm as a file manager, and yes i
have ck-launch-session in my .xinitrc)
The strange thing is that all of them can be mounted under Windows XP
SP3...so it's not a hardware problem.
Looked through Archlinux forums, but found nothing that i could use...
Any clues?

P.S.1 : Most of the CDs are bootable ones, writen with "cdrecord -v speed=8
dev=/dev/scd0 -data -tao -multi". They boot normally though.
