lshw generates kernel errors

[Tom Spec]

FC5.

When I run lshw, I get a whole bunch of the following errors in
/var/log/messages:

----------
Mar 24 21:49:28 myserver kernel: hdc: tray open
Mar 24 21:49:28 myserver kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev
hdc, sector 0
Mar 24 21:49:28 myserver kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc,
logical block 0
----------

/dev/hdc is my CD-ROM, however I am pretty sure it works fine.

I believe I started getting this on FC4 after a certain kernel.

Does anyone know what this is?
