I had this same error when installing on the new iLamp-800.

It looks like the eMac has a CD-RW and is probably the same known issue on
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/ .  At the boot prompt, hit 'tab' and
then type 'install-text hdb=ide-scsi'  The support page shows hdc=ide-scsi, but
the iLamp only has one ide "channel" so it needed to be hdb=.

Hope this helps.
