Sorry, but I missed the first message...

Remembers me of my last try to install SuSE5.3 from CD (CDROM @ ID 6,
disks @ ID 0 and 1). I had to switch the CDROM drive to ID 2 to access
it. This with kernel 2.0.35 and AHA1542B (quite old, quite reliable and
I thought quite stable driver). Didn't explore that further.

Did you try to re-jumper your CD-ROM to 2 and the disk to 0 ?
