[Paranoia] No such device or address errors

Sat Jan 22 11:42:38 PST 2005

I've been having a problem while ripping certain damaged CD's I own. 
Basically, what appears to happen is some sort of SCSI failure causing
the drive to be taken offline and unusable until I reboot my computer.

I've tried just about everything I can think of that might cause this problem:

1. Using several different PX-32CSI and PX-12CSI drives.
2. Tried replacing the SCSI cable.
3. Used every sort of terminator from the jumper on the drive to an
active terminator on the cable.
4. Put anywhere from four cdrom drives on the bus to just one.
5. Tried 2 different Adaptec 2940's and a BusLogic SCSI controller.
6. Tried two very different computers: one running Fedora Core 2 and
the other Fedora Core 3.

This leads me to believe there might be something in the core linux
SCSI code, a fundamental problem with older Plextor CDROM drives, or
something cdparanoia is doing that is somehow triggering this.  I'm
looking for any ideas on what might cause this or things I can try. 
I've included both the cdparanoia and syslog output below.  If there
is any additional information I can provide, please let me know.  Any
help would be very appreciated.

Here is what the output of cdparanoia looks like:
