I checked my syslog file more thoroughly and found this...

There is a CD in the drive, and it works ok, i mean, i can access it
without any problems. This problem started persisting when i installed
DOSEMU (0.66.7).
I have ide-cd, cdrom and isofs compiled as modules.
I hope that helps a bit, i'll try to get the "free free buffer" message to
appear again and see under what conditions it appears.
