It would appear that on Jul 16, Bob Chiodini did say:

The quoted message was from dmesg so that would be during the boot, And
definitely before X. 

It is possible that these errors are not related to what ever is making
it so difficult to get k3b to believe in the cd-rw. So maybe they are
harmless. I Simply had a problem getting k3b to recognize the drive and
started looking for errors. When I found those in dmesg, I figured there
may be a link, hence wanted to know what the errors actually mean.

If it's about what's in the drive, I'll see what happens with a couple
of music CDs in during boot & maybe during k3b startup...

In any case, thanks!
