Your CD appears to be bad:

<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34
<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
<4>hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34

You can test the CD following these instructions:

Sorry to cause you to have to chase wild geese.  Although running the linux - 
mediacheck command showed no errors on any of the media, the problem turned out 
to be a failing CD-ROM drive.

Thanks for your response.
