installer ('detecting hardware') hangs on DELL Inspiron 8000

["Johannes Behr" <johannes.behr@zgdv.de>]

Hi,

I'm new to debian (redhat user for years) and would
like to install sarge for testing on my notebook.

I got the "Debian-Installer beta 2 released" as CD iso
image. Burned the CD and rebooted my machine:

Unfortunately, the 'Detecting hardware' process hangs with
the following error message (at 95%).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Skipping unavailable module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy'
----------------------------------------------------------------

System: DELL Inspiron 8000

Any Idea?

Thanks
  Johannes
