Well, I had the opportunity to test pdc_console on my b2k but as well as in 2.4 it make hung the kernel at boot time:
the cdrom green led stay continuously lighted (if I add or remove ide-cdrom support in the kernel)
Unfortunately I never reach to get any relevant toc info to go further in this pb invetigation :(. Now basicaly 2.6 is running on 
this system and so I will try to add some printk() to locate more accurately this event.
