In case anyone is curious, we found out the problem to this saga and fixed it. Here's the synopsis: You can reread this thread to get up-to-date. We found the firmware upgrade on Dell's Europe web site and updated the firmware to 3.05. It didn't help. The cdrom is a NEC CDR-3000A. I replaced it with a Toshiba XM-6302B and it worked fine. Seems like the NEC CDR-3000A is written with buggy/non-standard firmware and is incompatible to MDK 9.1. If someone wants a more detailed report/summary, please let me know.
