Your CDs are bad. You can test them following the instructions at: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
I wrote in the bug report, I have tested the discs with "linux mediacheck" and they all were ok.
These errors in your log file: <4>hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } <4>hdc: ATAPI reset complete <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 596772 indicate there were read errors from the CD. The mediacheck does not always trigger these because the access pattern is different.
