Comments/Problems:

Initially tried to install using LG GH22NS50 DVD drive but installer would not recognise drive. Installed Lite On drive into unit and would now get past detect cdrom.
Installer then would not recognise that there were any hard drives in the unit and gave a list of drivers to try. Read wiki and installation instructions and tried booting
with both disk-detect/dmraid/enable and dmraid=true. These both gave the same result of disk not detected and list of drivers to try. I have looked thru both Debian.org and Western Digital's web pages looking for some direction as to which driver to try.
Any suggestions?
