Bug#240932: (fwd) RE: ide troubles
In /var/log/syslog I see:
cdrom-detect: Searching for Debian installation media...
cdrom-detect: CDROM-mount succeeded: device=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0
cdrom-detect: Detected CD 'Debian GNU/Linux testing "Sarge" - Official
Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20041121)'
but nothing about detecting the distribution...
