 Yep, you'll find a copy in /var/log/messages.

 This looks like a driver problem, for whatever reason triggered by
 just one CD.  Perhaps it's the same driver problem people have been
 reporting for the mcd driver when trying to install from it.

 With the exact same drive?

 Probably not.  I'm afraid this bug (these bugs) can only be fixed by
 someone who owns an mcd drive, and has enough of courage to actually
 start fixing it.  Unless this somebody will appear, the bug is likely
 to last forever.

 It would be another bug if they weren't. :)

 Your system version is too old to understand multisession CDs, so
 don't worry.

 It would be another bug if they weren't. :)
