Bug#240932: (fwd) RE: ide troubles
Using "linux debconf/priority=medium" I left everything default but just
turned off the "piix" module and everything works fine.
With the "piix" module, I found the following in dmesg output:
------------------

Without the "piix" module, the following is in dmesg output:

------------------
What's weird is that the installer can't recover from the CDROM DMA
error even though the kernel has (or at least it seems to). After the
CDROM error, I can open a console and list files on the CDROM.
Depending on what file I open, I can hear the CDROM spinning up and
accessing things.
Any ideas on how to get the installer to recover from this condition?
Thanks,
Will
