I have this problem too occasionally (RH6.2). AFAIK
magicdev is the program (part of GNOME) which scans
the CDROM and determines what to do if a CD is
inserted. I think I used to get the error more after I
had taken a CD out after using it in GNOME (hence
"disk change"). Thus it's a kernel error message, but
directly caused by a process, so the kernel version
_should_ be irrelevant.

If you don't want to remove the package, disabling it
may work: (6.2 setup here, 7 may be different)

GNOME control centre -> CD properties -> turn off all
automatic-run-type things.
