Comments/Problems:
d-i fails to find any cdrom or harddisk. This system is IDE-based and
the identical machine works well with a self-compiled 2.4.27 (due to
tg3-hack) and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ALI15X3=y
modules alim15x3, ide-disk, ide-cd, isofs, generic and cdrom are
loaded - full lsmod on request because I would have to organize a
nullmodem cable or copy manually ;-)
I can't access the IDE-CDROM manually either, /dev/cdroms/ is as empty
as /dev/ide/. But the drive seems to function at least to some extent
because d-i happily boots from it.
I hope I included some of the important information, please inform me
which information is missing
Thank you for your work with debian!
Yours
Matthias Merz
