I don't know what is causing this though. I wonder if you could install
the debian kernel that is used by the debian installer on your existing
debian install, and boot it and see if it has similar problems accessing
the cdrom. It could be that this is a bug in the new version of the
kernel; I notice your existing install is using the older 2.4.18-586tsc
kernel. The kernel used by the debian installer is in the package named
kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386
