Answered my own question: It seems that Gateway installed the cdrom on the primary ide bus and debian doesn't like this when you boot off a SCSI. I moved the cdrom ide cable to the secondary ide and now it boots off the cdrom and finds the SCSI hard drive. That only took a couple of years to figure out.
Well, i haven't seen such an error before. A good thin you found that out as i don't think the list would have thought about it :)
