It simply tries to boot from the CD-ROM reader (I can see the led
flashing), but it fails and skip to the next device (hard disk), as
for example an audio CD disk with no boot sector was inserted.

No messages.

No.

As said, I don't even get to that point.
FP> Any BIOS options you can try changing?
I'm not sure, replacing the SATA CD-ROM with a IDE one, makes d-i
happy and boot painlessly. I don't know exactly if there something to
set in the BIOS.. has somebody some experience here?
FP> Does a Sarge installation CD boot correctly (which release did you try)?
I did test it, but I'll check 3.1r4 out.
FP> Does an Etch RC1 installation CD boot correctly?
No, it fails as well, same behaviour.
