You are not alone.  This happens to me also.  Running
dmesg returns

hdd: status error: status=0x40 { DriveReady }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown

When rebooting, KDE says that there is an audio CD in
the drive, there's no CD inside.  I click on it and
then get an error message.

Also to check out if it is FC6's fault, I run SLAX
Live CD and it runs, but then trying to play a movie,
it froze and could not run dmesg because ctrl + alt +
backspace and/or ctrl + alt + delete did not work.

Regards,


Antonio
