Yes, you're right, it's a SCSI-RAID-Controller. No, I couldn't spot any 
message, but they went by really fast and I couldn't scroll back 
(because that triggered the reboot). But I assume it would enable the 
SCSI disks somewhere in the end where it also enables the CD-ROM drive. 
So probably the RAID controller isn't supported.
Sorry that I didn't think about that myself, but I assumed everything 
went right because it seemed to boot normally...

The PATA controller has only the CD-ROM drive attached, so there should 
be space for a CF card adapter. I will try that.

Thanks for the help!
