This is odd


sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] 390721968 512-byte hardware sectors (200050 MB)

Your disk reports one size

sda: rw=0, want=532056072, limit=390721968
Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 0

but your partition table thinks the disk is an entirely different size

sr 8:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK
driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK sr 8:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Hardware
Error [current] sr 8:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Logical unit communication
failure

And that is your CD drive reporting itself as erroring

You could try booting with libata.dma=1 as a boot option but that
shouldn't make any difference (obviously if it does file a bug)
