Just a guess, just maybe are you running scsi-over-ide
emulation..I noticed the "block-major" kernel message too
on my RH6.2 box when I enabled the ide-scsi module.  If this
is the case your problem might be that you should be mounting
the /dev/scd* devices and not the /dev/hd*....

this is just a wild guess ok

no idea on the "binfmt" error..
