boot hanging

["Constantine Antonopoulos" <kona@btinternet.com>]

Hello,

I have been trying to install Debian Potato r2 on a new PC with no success.
The PC hangs when booting from the CD-ROM after the following messages are
displayed on the screen:
hdc: ATAPI 48x DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11

Here are some of the system specs (please let me know if you need more
details):
Asus A7V motherboard, with Athlon CPU
Panasonic SR8586 DVD drive (secondary master)
IBM 75GXP 45GB (primary master, plugged in IDE bus, not UltraDMA)

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to
resolve it?

thanks,

Constantine
