Comments/Problems:
After bootin the CD, Debian installaer asked me for "Choosing language",
then I chose country and keyboard layout and then was trying to detect
CD-ROM. These are the error messages:
"Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not
available yet. Simply proceeding with the install may make these modules
available later.
The unavailable modules, and the devices that need them are: ohci1394 (Sun
Microsystems Computer Corp. RIO 1394), usb storage (USB storage), floppy
(Linux Floppy), ide-core (Linux IDE support), ide-mod (Linux IDE driver),
ide-probe-mod (Linux IDE probe driver), ide-detect (Linux IDE detection),
ide-generic (Linux IDE support), ide-floppy (LINUX IDE floppy)"
then
Your installation CD-ROM couldn´t be mounted. This probably means that the
CD-ROM was not in the drive. ...
Sounds strange, because it could boot from the CD. Suggestions?
Regards,

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
