thanks for that careful analysis, Osamu. I have very similar hardware and it appears the problem may also be avoidable by configuring the kernel to not use DMA on cdroms. See bugs #250323 (and referenced therein #222939.b) Your solution is probably the least intrusive however. If this patch is applied I would be happy to try it out as well.
There seems to be another bug that is triggered by this one relating to the setting of the $SUITE variable (see 250323). Do you see any way to improve the handling of that? It seems to me it would be a good idea to add an error message to /usr/lib/debootstrap/functions, to handle the case that $SUITE is not set.
