(Well it used to, I don't see any right now.) If you point me to your custom kernel I'll do a daily d-i build with it, if that would help. > So I tried with the 2.4.30 kernel I built some time ago, this kernel has > scsi drivers and some network drivers built in. udev does not start with > anything < 2.6.15, so there are no special nodes for the cdrom. > cd /dev ; mknod scd0 b 11 0 ; ln -s scd0 sr0 ; ln -s scd0 cdrom > fixes this, the CD-Rom can then be mounted (without loading any drivers), > the cd is scanned.

I don't know how much, because I haven't been testing old kernels.
