Comments/Problems:
Unable to "detect and mount CD-Rom" due to failure of DMA. This drive has issues with some DMA setups, but works fine with older installation media. All installs that have a nodma option allows an installation to procede.
Maybe this option should be included in future releases, to aid installing on older/dying hardware? I reported this same bug last year when I tested a beta Sarge installer. 

Same installation media working on alternate i386 based machines.

Suggested Resolution:

Include "nodma" boot parameter, or document procedure to perform this.

These DMA issues while reading CD were reported against old kernels (2.4.x) 
and debian-installer releases in 2004-05 and seem to be fixed a long time ago.
Hence i am closing this report and invite you to test and report any issues 
against current debian installer release.
