I currently own a 7043-260. Which livecd version are you trying to use?
This was fixed in 2004.2-beta4, you can pick it up at http://dev.gentoo.org/~tgall/ (beta4 pSeries).
I didn't try beta5 yet, but shouldn't have any surprises.
Comment 2 Joao Luiz Elias Campos 2004-09-01 11:36:17 UTC
I am using the LiveCD beta4 from http://dev.gentoo.org/~tgall.
Comment 3 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-01 13:51:44 UTC
beta5 is broken on scsi cdrom for me again.
Comment 4 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-02 20:17:13 UTC
Yup my Fault!  on pSeries, beta4 is fine to use. The only addition for beta 5 was JS20 support
Comment 5 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-09 20:16:28 UTC
Spinning Beta 6 currently! 
Comment 6 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-19 07:49:30 UTC
Greetings, I'm going to mark this as fixed. the current set of available livecds for pSeries should address this issue. Please test!  if it doesn't  I'd like to know ASAP! Thanks!
Comment 7 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-23 19:51:40 UTC
no activity in over a month after the test request. Going to presume the currently available 2004.2 and 2004.3 livecds address the problem.
