Okay, the problem goes like this: a phantom hard drive (wd3) appears to be detected when the hardware is probed. The actual harddrives and cdrom are all detected properly, and if wd3 is removed (in a custom kernel), then there are no problems.
However, in the initial installation, wd3 cannot be disabled, only wdc1, which also has a CDROM connected to it, so a cdrom installation is ruled out since the detection of wd3 halts the installation process like this:
wd3: can't handle 65535 heads from partition tale (truncating to 16)
wd3 cannot handle 65535 sectors (max 255)
wd3 wdcontrol: reca failed reading fsbn0wd3: status
7e<rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index> error 4<abort>
wd3 error reading primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (wd3 bn0;cn0 tn0 sn0)
The GENERIC kernel detects my system like thus:
