What's this dmesg from - some other Linux?  Looks like it sees a CD-ROM on
scsi0, although normally you would see some Manufacturers ID etc, but that
might just have not been picked up by the grep.

You may be bitten by my omission of the aic7xxx module in the
installer/kernel.  There is an updated set of ISO's on my ftp space:

ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/sbenedict/

1-Cooker-PPC.iso
2-Cooker-PPC.iso

md5sums:

34c0780abd7a30f52ddb1dffaec5434d  1-Cooker-PPC.iso
f1d1c46a61f216ffbeb6a615f1d78aac  2-Cooker-PPC.iso

Now before everybody goes running there to grab the latest thing (TM),
there is nothing any different than what you have in the final, UNLESS you
need that SCSI module. So don't flood that server please.

I had a adaptec aha scsi card on scsi0. My harddisk is connected to it. But 
my CDROM
is connected to the interanl SCSI.

Can anybody give any suggestion?
