See previous jfs post for kernel config.

dmesg for cdrom error:

This looks like your Ethernet controller, actually..

Likely it messing with the SATA controller again.. though possibly unrelated.

I have a very strong feeling that this error and the previous jfs one
are strongly related :\

Can you try booting with intel_iommu=off on the command line and see if these errors go away?
