Comments/Problems:
(NOTE: Config network task is out of sequence on this form. It happens =
after the "Load Installer Modules" step.)
Install is failing to load all the components of the Debian Installer on =
the target computer from a SCSI CD-Rom drive. It stops on the =
'mkreiserfx-udeb' step with a "There was a problem reading data from the =
CDROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying does not work, =
you should check the integrity of your CDROM." =20
The install CD correctly loads all the modules on another, newer =
computer (PIII 733/IDE CDROM, 512MB Memory) and moves on to the Network =
config. So, that leaves media weakness, subtle image corruption, =
hardware issues with the old box or a driver glitch on it. I've tested =
the CD-ROM drive various ways, including booting knoppix 3.4 on the =
target box, which runs just fine. This is an odd problem. Seems like =
hardware or media issues, yet tests can't pin it down.
I would do a MD5 checksum on the image, just in case, but I can't find =
the checksum to check against anywhere.

OK. Thanks for letting us know. Closing your report.
We'll see the new one when you've successfully installed Debian ;-)
Cheers,
