It appears that the problem maybe with the pata_serverworks driver, the following https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379771 shows there is some sort of issue with it for CD-ROM drives. There was a suggestion to use libata.pata_dma=1, but I am unsure if this will work around the problem - especially if this cannot be passed down to the module from a LiveCD boot.
I think this may have to wait unti an upstream fix appears.
Chris,
