I'm having trouble
getting Debian to recognise my CD-drive, even though it will boot and install
from same. For the third time I have
trashed everything
and started the installation from scratch. I now think my trouble may be
to do with command-line arguments for the
drive.
The drive is a Creative
8x (model CD822E) and Debian wants to install the sbpcd driver which seems
logical to me. I have tried the argument:
"sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster"
as suggested in the CD-ROM HOWTO, and variations of those, but they all
are rejected, with comments
like "syntax error:
end of file unexpected - installation failed".
I thought installing CD drives was bad under Windows. I'm new to Linux and have been trying to do my first install for a week! Can anyone pleeeez help?
Thanks,
Barry
