Bug#310130: hda should be sda
Geert,
I attempted to reproduce and document exactly what happened but
couldn't; I was unable to get the installer to mount the CD as
I had before.
Using expert26 and going through the "Detect and Mount CD-ROM" step I
unchecked the ata_piix module from the "Modules to load" list. I never
used any module parameters (this time or previously). The CD was then
detected properly. The ata_piix module was loaded at a later stage when
it also detected the module for my ethernet chip, I think it was during a
"Detect Hardware" stage.
I proceeded with the install on a spare partition, installing grub on the
MBR. The new install rebooted properly the first time:
the root partition was properly identified as /dev/sda4 in grub
and in /etc/fstab.
However, my CD-ROM is not available when I boot my new installation (it
doesn't work on my first installation either). A quick google turned up
this
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/04/msg00128.html
My situation appears to be the same as this one.
Let me know what else I can do.
Regards,
Greg Deitrick
