I finally got Intrepid installed. The solution was to search the attic for an old CD-ROM drive from 1999 and use it during installation.

The failing drive is:

 - Sony NEC Optiarc Inc
   DVD/CD Rewritable Drive
   Model no. AD-7173A

The working solution:

 - Really old LG CD-ROM drive
 - Alternative install CD (to enable SW RAID1 and LVM)

Just for the record, I did not try any other working combinations of HW and install CDs.
