Comments/Problems: Once I booted off the netinst CD, the install
started as expected (expert26 mode). Hardware detection worked
fine and presented a list of kernel modules that needed to be
loaded. Being cautious, I accepted them all. After hitting "OK"
the installer cleared the screen and hanged (while attempting to
access the CD-ROM from time to time). On the message console the
words "Detecting installation CD-ROM" appeared... and stayed
forever. After some google searching (one of the posts that I
found even suggested replacing a CD-ROM as a working solution) I
found a post that indirectly mentioned PIIX module. So I restarted
the hung installation, got to module detections again and disabled
loading PIIX module. Magically, that did it. The CD-ROM detection
worked, and installation continued to network card detection.
Found both onboard e100 and additional AMD PCnet32 cards and
suggested to load three modules: e100, pcnet32 and piix (again).
I OK'ed loading all three modules - and everything happily ran
without any further glitch.
Regards,
Lev
