I noticed that if I remove the power and data cables from the CD writer, and put them back in, the problem doesn't happen in the next hours or days. I got exactly the same symptoms with the 2.6.18 kernel from Debian Etch, even when running from the netinst CD (just busybox). I permanently removed the CD writer a few weeks ago, and the problem didn't appear since then. Probably damaged hardware, not kernel bug.
