Please send a dmesg output from the debian testing system you have installed on the machine, plus a matching dmesg output from the debian installer after it has failed find the CD. One easy way to do the latter would be to go to vc 2 and manually mount your existing debian partition, and then save the dmesg output onto it. While you're at it you could include stuff from /proc/ide, /var/log/ (from the debian-installer) and anything else that might be useful in figuring out what's going wrong. -- see shy jo
