And you get "command not found" when doing "ls" with this path?
Is "ls" aliased to something?

My point is that if you get to it - it's worth trying to dig and find answers
to these problems so next time they come around you are ready to smuck
them in the face once and for all, otherwise you'll never become an
"experienced linux user" (or you might become "experienced linux installer" :).

Looks like some device-sensing daemon probing the cd for a media,
not too worrying (and you could have clipped the identical lines in the
message).

Have you crashed your system lately?
Have you executed fsck afterward?
Try taking the system down to single-user mode (remember - try to avoid
a full reboot) unmount and fsck all filesystems except for the root filesystem.
Actually - if you are not sure (are you?) then reboot and check whether there
are such warnings about your root filesystem too.
Consider moving to ext3 (no need to reformat the filesystem, I've never
done this myself but I read it's just a matter of running "tune2fs -j
<device file>"
and updating the filesystem type in /etc/fstab)

Have you setup a firewall on your computer? Have you taken down all
unnecessary services (this is apparently unrelated to your problem but still)?
