CDROM problems with installer 2.2.23
Hi
Have installed potato(carefully,multiple times) using boot floppy images
2.2.23 from CDROM. On reboot, apt-get tries to access packages and gets
error: "fs iso9660 not supported by kernel". Using mount has always
given the same error. I tried using an older version installer (2.1)
which explicitly refused to load the cdrom module. The CDROM is ATAPI,
ASUS CD S400/A and should not need a special driver. The computer is AMD
K5 -- Debian is hdc secondary master, CDROM is hdd secondary slave.
CDROM works fine on Mandrake 8.0 which is on a different physical drive
hda, dual boot using LILO. CDROM works on floppy or CDROM Debian boot
media, just not from Debian on hdc. I tried to use ftp for access
thinking to try to compile a different kernel but on the last two tries
apt-get now cannot name resolve the Debian ftp site. I had gotten
further with this Debian install and after some effort X-windows was
working somewhat. I then tried to mess with kernel issues to get the
CDROM working but I'm not winning.
As I reread this, sounds like hdc maybe can't reach the CDROM. I'll
check the hardware, but are there any other insights?
