I'm not sure if this is your answer, but I've had similar problems
before on certain hardware, if the there's a gap in the IDE chain, i.e.
you've got hda as your hard disk and hdc as you CDROM, Linux can
sometimes have trouble accessing it properly. Try taking out the gap
between devices by putting the CD-ROM as hdb, I'm new at this so I'm not
sure if it's the answer or not. And this is posted from Outlook because
I'm from work.
