I started a similar thread 2 days ago called "5.2-RELEASE: unable to 
mount cd-roms".  Søren responded on that thread and said "it looks like 
you arent getting interrupts", but I don't really know what that means. 
  Maybe that will help you...

A verbose dmesg might be more helpful to those in the know -- run "boot 
-v" from the boot loader and post the dmesg you get from that 
(preferably posted to a web site given the size).
