So I tried out the Dapper RC and.... it still doesn't work. But I get something new this time. Now the graphical bootup stalls at "mounting root filesystem" and switching over to the 1st terminal and waiting for about a minute or so reveals this "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!"

irqpoll does bring it up to the desktop as usual. I do see that ide-cd is loaded and /dev/hdc is present (can't recall if they were missing in previous boots using older live CDs)... perhaps with irqpoll it is possibly installable now.
