Hello,
Since my recent harddisk problems I had to reinstall my entire linux.
The only hardware change in the system is that the two harddisks have been
swapped on the ide cable (jumpers have been changed accordingly).
Since then if I ever attempt to access the cdrom (which is used through
/dev/sr1 using ide-scsi) i get an oops. After that, I get errors from the
SCSI layer talking about timeouts and retries.
I've since then switched back to vanilla 2.4.19 which works fine with me. The
-ac patches don't.
Before the harddiskproblems it worked correctly.
I'll see this eve to cause, ksymoops and send in an oops.

Please have a look at the "Linux 2.4.20-pre5-ac4" thread. Exactly your problem was also noticed by 2 other people.

OK. Weird thing is that it worked perfectly earlier (i'm using the same kernel
config as before my reinstall).
I'll verify the versions of all packages installed before (i have a list of
pkgname+version) and installed now, and see if i spot any differences that
might cause this.
