[paranoia] Meaning of "transport error"

[Ariel O. Garcia]

(sorry, I've already sent this message but without subject!)

Hello,
      I am trying to use cdparanoia with my IDE ATAPI cdrom (I have a no
brand 32X cdrom and an HP8100 cdwriter, both ide but configured through
ide-scsi emulation).
I get the following error (many times) when reading the cd from
the cdrom (I get no errors if I use the cdwriter):

csi_read error: sector=40163 length=1 retry=8
                 Sense key: 3 ASC: 2 ASCQ: 0
                 Transport error: Medium reading data from medium
                 System error: Input/output error 

It usually repeats 8 times and then skips to next error, 700 or 1300
sectors after the previous one.

If I let cdparanoia to continue I get the following progress bar:

 (== PROGRESS == [               ee  eeeeeeeeeee| 041176 00 ] == :^D * ==)

My configuration:

If I do:

$ cdparanoia -vQ

I get:

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...

                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.

Could anyone help me with the meaning of these errors? Thanks a lot!
