Unable to read from Creative IDE cdrom drive type CD3621E

Kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

Always, when running this kernel.
However, the installation was done using this drive! (???)

2. 
3.
  
Actual results:
From /var/log/messages:-
Jan 29 19:41:24 hp kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jan 29 19:41:24 hp kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50
Jan 29 19:41:24 hp kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc),

Normal read

Additional info:
I believe this drive may have internal power down.
On previous RH releases, there have been delays as drive spins up.
