Confirming bug on motherboard ASUS Maximus Extreme SE.

Configuration:
2 * DVDs connected to motherboard, which has a Jmicron controller.Multiple ASUS motherboards seem to have that. One is a to be identified OEM-drive, the other a modern Samsung DVD-burner.
A set of HDs connected to an AMDC 3ware hardware Raid controller connected using SATA2
System works perfectly well using another OS.

Multiple distributions (Knoppix 5.1.1, Debian etch RC1, Sabayon, DVDs
burned at different stations) correctly start installations from the OEM
DVD. Early in the process, they cannot reach the files on the DVD and
show distribution-dependent erratic behaviour..

Will try all_generic_ide, but would prefer not to have to do that. Some
distributions give me a limited shell.

Seems there is a long-running bug here, related to mixed
IDE/SATA2-systems?
