Bug#360805: install: Unable to install from SATA CDROM
Package: install
Version: N/A; reported 2006-04-04
Severity: critical
When attempting to install Debian Sarge from a SATA CDROM the installation
CD will boot and get to the point where it is trying to load a CDROM driver.
It then either hangs or asks for a floppy containing drivers for the CDROM.
Since it booted from the CDROM the hardware is obviously working. It seems
that the installation system does not have the necessary drivers for a SATA
CDROM and is thus unable to install.
