Well, you didn't paste the output, so I'm missing some of the
information I'd need to make a guess...

The first question is, are you using the ATAPI cdrom kernel driver, or
IDE-SCSI?  If you're using ATAPI, cdparanoia has to trust the kernel
to make command decisions.  Obviously, the kernel has chosen poorly
(although the list of choices may all be fairly poor).  With IDE-SCSI,
cdparanoia has free reign probing/tickling the drive.  Consider trying
IDE-SCSI if you've not already.
