Jurij Smakov tells me that the problems with the esp driver for CD-ROM access is a known issue in current kernels and AIUI not resolved for 2.6.18 either. Jurij said he'll try to work on it, but also that you've been known to hack on such issues yourself :-) > The try with serial console did detect both SCSI devices fine but failed > to mount CD.

Could you perhaps try a netboot install for this box? Please follow up to this report. Cheers, FJP
