Maybe this harware is a bit exotic. Of several other distros I tried, only SUSE and Debian were able to cope with the USB CDROM. Nevertheless, I'd put a somewhat more flexible installer on the wish list... Please note that since it's a kernel panic, there's no "installer" involved at this stage yet.
The easiest solution would be to use an initial ramdisk; if you want to test that, you'll find a 2.2 ISO on http://jaeger.morpheus.net/blog/ Look for "crux-2.2-latest.iso" there. It would be interesting to see whether there are further issues remaining, so if you try that one please report back. Those changes will hopefully make it into 2.3 and will make the dreaded root= parameter go away (unless multiple cdrom drives are involved of course).
