The Mitsumi I/F driver in 2.0 doesn't work quite right with a number
of Mitsumi CD-ROM drives. I and several others have experienced
problems with strange timeouts, complaints that there's no CD in the
drive, and other frustrating what-not. We can read some amount of
data and then without warning the fool thing gets confused; unmounting
and remounting sometimes fixes it.
Using the mcd.c and mcdreg.h files from one of the later snaps in the
2.0 kernel fixed the problem for me. If you want, I can make a
boot.flp available with a 2.0 kernel and newer Mitsumi driver in it
and you can try installing from that.
Of course, I could've totally misinterpreted the problem.
