Panic with mounting CD in 2.6.0test8

I'm getting a kernel panic in running 2.6.0test8 which I just compiled today.
After chatting this up with #Kernelnewbies, erikm told me to post here.

Attempt to mount a particular CD, which I'm thinking is just an ordinary data CD.
It could be a VCD, but then I would suspect it would play on my DVD player. Windows sees it as a data disk with one big AVI file on it. Anyway, I was impressed by the magical symbol lookups in the crash dump, but I really just want to mount my CD.

I am not subscribed to this list, so please CC me on any correspondence. I will gladly help debug this.

Here's the output of ver_linux:

You should boot with vga=ext (and make sure you have CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT set), because the top of the oops isn't visible.

So you can open/explore the CD in Windows?

The call stack could have scrolled off of the top of the screen. If not, then cdrom_start_read() called cdrom_start_packet_command(), but there's not enough info to see what went haywire in cdrom_start_packet_command() or whether that latter function called cdrom_start_read_continuation() which then erred or if it called something which fumbled. So if you can get more/better info (from kernel log or serial console etc.), that would be very helpful.
