After the usual 3:30 delay it read "mounted live system on /dev/scd0"
so I tried (as you suggested) grml bootfrom=/dev/scd0 but this did not 
help, sorry.

There are several error messages like this:
a) many lines saying
sr 6:0:1:0: [sr0] Sense Key: Medium Error [current]
sr 6:0:1:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: L-EC uncorrectable error

b) many lines like this
Buffer I/O error on device sr0
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1380478

c) ck804xrom ck804xrom_init_one(): Unable to register resource 
0x00000000ff000000-0x00000000ffffffff - kernel bug?

d) an endless flow of lines like
CFI: Found no ck804xrom@ ff.......... at location zero
JEDEC: Found no .....

Maybe this gives you a hint. BTW I run Lenny, Sid and Fedora 10 on my 
system without any problems.
