Given that apparently nothing else supports your CD drive either and the fact that this is _very_ old hardware for which few developers will be willing to make any real effort to improve support, I'm afraid that there's nothing much we can do. Because of that I also don't really think the severity important is warranted. It also seems that this is something of a known issue. See for example the comments at the bottom of this page (second hit when I googled for "Adaptec ISA SCSI syslinux"; this report was first...): http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=2097&cat=42 Hooking up an IDE CD drive to the system seems to me your best bet to me.
