 I experienced a similar problem a few years ago with an old Compaq 
 Proliant.  The problem turned out to be that the install kernel 
 autoconfigured cd0 to a UDMA mode which the drive (or possibly the 
 internal ribbon cable) didn't actually support.  Looking at your dmesg, 
 the same thing may be happening.  I got round the problem by building a 
 custom install cd (or possibly floppies) with an install kernel which 
 had the DMA modes restricted.  e.g.
 
 cd* at atapibus? drive ? flags 0x0fac  # PIO mode 4,  DMA mode 2,  
 disable UDMA
 
 or possibly
 
 cd* at atapibus? drive ? flags 0x0ffc  # PIO mode 4,  disable DMA,  
 disable UDMA
 
 Or you could try replacing the internal ribbon cable with an Ultra/100 
 cable - I think the problem arises because Windoze doesn't enable UDMA 
 modes on cdroms by default.
