I have a question: How to find out between which two tags a given commit
lies?

E.g. commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d ([SCSI] Get rid of
scsi_cmnd->done), which is the last commit that changed drivers/scsi/sr.c

i now discovered (using gitk and a lot of scolling) that above commit is
after v2.6.23 but before v2.6.24-rc1 (so it is a possible offender)

You see i am just too lazy to bisect (and reboot 20th times or so) and i
just wanted to try my luck and revert the last
 commit and see if this fixes my problem.

By the way:
Reverting commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d makes the same
cd medium readable again on v2.6.24-rc2-409-g9418d5d.
