Comments/Problems:
Repeatedly stopped reading DVD/CD while searching for hardware and ROM
drive, so I tried
<alt><F2>
dmesg | more
Near end of file, found
Probing IDE interface ide1
hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2402, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
IRQ 15: Nobody cared, disabling interrupt
This was immediately followed by a string of reports about hdc (CD/DVD) lost
interrupt, and eventually a hint to try rebooting with the "irqpoll" option.
Tried another installation using
expert irqpoll
no problems, went straight through and re-booted OK. Should irqpoll be
included in the standard installation proceedure?
I have no further access to the laptop, this report was submitted afterwards.

Changes:
debian-installer (20080522) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Add atari keymaps to pkg-lists for m68k.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Lenny will be version 5.0.
* Improve consistency between x86 syslinux bootmethod help screens.
* Add nic-usb-modules to netboot images for x86 and ia64.
.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Update to 2.6.24-1 kernel (i386, mipsel, arm, armel and amd64).
.
[ Robert Millan ]
* Add images for the versatile platform (armel).
.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Activate the images for the MIPS Malta platform (mips and mipsel),
thanks Aurelien Jarno.
* Remove the QEMU flavour on mips and mipsel since it's replaced
by Malta.
* Update mips to 2.6.24-1.
* Use initramfs rather than cramfs on Cobalt since the initrd is too
large.
* Use initramfs on MIPS Malta.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Remove dropped cdrom-modules kernel udebs from package list for i386,
amd64 and alpha.
* Update to 2.6.24-1 kernel for alpha, hppa, ia64, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
* Remove wireless-tools from package lists as it's not required to configure
wireless networking.
* Remove Alastair McKinstry and Joshua Kwan as Uploaders with many thanks
for their past contributions.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* The i386 root floppy has been changed to a bare gzipped cpio file,
null-paddded to the end of the floppy. This needs rootskel-bootfloppy
version 1.60.
* Use syslinux's vesamenu for all x86 images except the boot floppy.
* Split up syslinux config files.
* Note that the pxelinux config file for serial terminals has been dropped,
at least for now, since the split config files made it too difficult to
set up.
* Note that this needs debian-cd changes to change its code for
merging syslinux configs when producing i386+amd64 CDs.
* Document the irqpoll boot parameter. Closes: #477988
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* For official builds, include a file with translation status information in
images to allow localechooser can warn users for incomplete translations.
A current status file should be generated before every upload.
.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Use genisoimage instead of mkisofs.
* Disable i386 floppy image since 2.6.24 kernel image is too big to fit
on a floppy.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Include both version number and codename as release identification.
* Add a version.info file inside netboot tarballs. Closes: #475774.
.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Add cdebconf-text-entropy to common EXTRAUDEBS variable and
cdebconf-gtk-entropy on all gtk images.
