Yes, it IS bad.

Ehmm, no.  This CDROM is a backup copy of all junk I d/l from the net. It's
content is not important. What I mean is thet if I try to read a file Linux
creashes.

cp /mnt/cdrom/foobar.tgz /home/pochini/    ---> Linux hangs completely

Doing the same on the old 7300 w/ SCSI CD reader if tells me it can't read the
disk and continues working happily.

The problem is the pmac IDE software driver. Trying to read the same CDROM om
my PC gives an error and does not crash.
