Despite the fact that this problem appears to be related to Sony/NEC/Optiarc drives, this is unlikely to be a "hardware bug" (as "jrippy" suggested), because the Ubuntu Alternate install always used to work with these same optical drives, UNTIL something changed between 8.04(Hardy) and 8.10(Intrepid) - as I documented in duplicate bug #351053. You can prove it by installing alternate 8.04 (or any previous version) and it works fine. I ended up installing 8.04 then did repeated upgrades to keep up with the current release !
