Comments/Problems:
I could not get the installer to find my cd/dvd-rw drive to mount it. It is connected to m/b via ide, hard disks and usb ports etc have SATA connections. The SATA devices showed up fine as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc. But there was no hda entry or anything corresponding to cd drives.
After help on #debian-boot this problem was solved in a fresh install by passing generic.all_generic_ide=1 to the installer at boot time.

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.
