>From DejaNews, it appears this is an ATAPI CD-ROM. Perhaps you should also ask the installer to tell you exactly how it fails; i.e., what messages he sees on boot up, and what happens when he executes a mount command: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom (hdc assumes the drive is master on the secondary IDE controller.)
