That's strange. Can you send us enough info about this service partition so we can try to set one up, and perhaps reprocude the bug? The partition layout, partition type, and the first several kilobytes of such a partition might suffice to do it. You never did tell us what happens if you start d-i, and after it fails to find the CD, go to a shell (alt-f2) and try to mount the CD manually (mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdroms/0 /cdrom) Do you have a /dev/cdroms at all on the system when the service partition is present, and if so, what are the contents of the directory? -- see shy jo
