In all cases the CDROM has been on a second IDE controller with no other devices. The change that seems to make things work is to remove the probe for wd2 and wd3 from the kernel and make sure the CD-ROM is the master device on the second IDE bus. You could therefore try booting with kernel -c and removing the wd2 and wd3 devices and see what happens.
