Comments/Problems:
Installer failed to access internal CDRW-DVDROM drive from wich it was started (just after the partitioning) to install packages.
I have bought the 01/2006 issue of the Linux-Magazin.de with Debian Sarge 3.1 r0a to install it on my Gericom 1st Supersonic M6T laptop. I can boot fine from the built-in DVD and all my hardware gets detected, just when the base system should get installed (just after the partitioning) the installer can not find the installation DVD anymore.
To solve this problem I have connected an external USB DVD Drive but booted still from the built-in DVD drive. Then I waited until the installer stumbled, unmounted /cdrom, put the Debian DVD into the external drive and remounted the external drive under /cdrom. In my case it was "mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/cd /cdrom". To get to the command line prompt I have used Alt+F2.
Similar problems were seen while using Mandrake Linux up to 10.1 but its installation allways went fine with this drive. 

This is what comes in /var/log/messages

As for the Reboot error:
I had to boot in the safe mode first time after the installation finished. Next time everything went OK.

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.
