I realized that after I sent the message...

system is Fedora 9 - x86_64 kernel 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.x86_64.

The errors are pretty regular, almost every 56 minutes and while the DVD 
and CD disks are idle.  I don't use them (the CD/DVD rom drives) that 
often so I don't know for sure if its affecting their use, I'll try 
writing some files out and see what happens, I'll try to time it during 
the next expected "event."

The system disks are SATA drives and are not associated with those 
device numbers.
