Comments/Problems:
The install did not find the CDROM drives. This is because of the new Intel 965 motherboards, which has drivers
that are not compatible with Debian. (Take a look at http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/linux/tech/319373.htm.
The same problem occurred when I tried to install the newest version of Debian 3.01r4 "Sarge". I have tried to download
new drivers for the motherboard for Debian 3.01r4, but all the drivers currently available from Intel is for audio, graphics, and
network for the board. From the newsgroups and forums, this problem seems to be coming more and more prevalent as
Core 2 Duo processors are become more popular. The "fix" that I found at comp.os.linux.setup was to use "all-generic-ide" or
"linux acpi=off all-generic-ide". It seemed to work for other people, but it did not work for my machine.
