Bug#403794: Package: base Debian ETCH will not recognize the CD-ROM
----- Forwarded message from Art Blackwell <aeb1barfo@yahoo.com> -----
I tried the latest update with the .iso image you suggested.
The good news: NICE eye candy compared to the usual install!
The bad news: I have the same problem: no recognition of the floppy or
CD-ROM drives. The /DEV directory entries needed are still missing, and
the drives won't mount.
When the new drives come in, I will attempt the same install on the
ML530 with a different Smart Array but the SAME message in the BIOS
about not supporting ide drives. That may help narrow down the problem.
The Kubuntu install was for PLAY. The DEBIAN install is for WORK.
That is why I am interested in resolving this issue. I have always used
a DEBIAN install for work related systems.
