Hi, sorry for send the email so abruptly but it seems there is some bounces
around my gmail account and i cannot understand why i cannot send mails
to debian bug traking system..
i try to clarify and provide some logs cos i found some bugs in debian installer
and this about several disk (in my case only two) is one

The debian installer tries to find a suitable disk, but only in the case
of itamar it found a debian disk but does not check if there is another more
suitable to the right installer version
Then steps never reach the modules loading, cos the installer finds a debian
disk that does not match to the expected, that is why we got:
> > Debian just report that there is no modules loaded and al the rest of steps
> > of installer just fails
I tested with QEMU and two CDROMS as SATA in MBR bios mode,
if the Debian cd is not in first tray, steps of installer randomly fails
I got some logs from syslog at the installer
