failed to install Debian 4.0r4a powerpc on an IBM 52a using VIOS 1.5 with virtual optical drive

- created an LPAR 
  - connected to the internal virtual lan with access to the world
  - 32GB logical volume from VIOS served via virtual scsi to LPAR
  - virtual optical drive ('mounted an iso-file (with debian) to the
    lpar')
- then booted from the virtual cd
- installer loads FROM the virtual cd!
- scans for CD and then says:
  "The cd-rom drive contains a cd which cannot be used for
  installation."
- i verified with md5sum that the iso-file is not damaged
  file: debian-40r4a-powerpc-netinst.iso

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.
