I think can confirm you're problem but I believe that the problem is
unreleated to swspeak. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue348 for more
details.

Mika and I tried a few things to solve this issue but we were running
out of good ideas.

I first encounted this booting problem with 1.0-5 which was a
devel-release[1]. I would be glad if you can test that release too to
confirm our problem.

I by now think it has something to do with the initrd but unfortunatly I
had no time to track it down...

I also just removed my CD-ROM-Drive from my notebook to add the model
for reference. It's a TEAC DW-224E (-A35).

I am looking forward to solve this problem together.

Wish you (and everybody who reads this) a Happy and Prosperous New Year
2008!
