Bug#252000: debian-installer installation report
Package: installation-reports
In response to your earlier suggestions & questions:
- yes, I did try the linux26 option; same result: after the CD boots,
there's the choose language screen, the choose keyboard layout screen, then
the detect & mount CD loop begins. (this is with the "new" installer on
sarge-i386-netinst)
- I *have* installed woody from CD1 of the stable distro, so the old
installer seems to work with this CD-ROM drive
- searching through the output of dmesg after booting into woody shows hdc
as LTN4855 ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM DRIVE
- Martin wanted me to "check what kind of modules are loaded and maybe load
some more"; I'm not sure what you mean--the system doesn't install, so
there's no modules.conf or anything...
>> I think Martin was speaking about kernel modules.
>> To know what modules are loaded, issue the 'lsmod' command.

>> If you find modules of which the name could be of significant interest

:
How would I issue these commands when the install crashes right in the
beginning? Are you talking about trying to make a custom boot CD?
Thanks, --Gary
