I have found a similar-looking bug report <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/36790> which has been fixed in Linux 2.6.31. Please test whether the CD drive works if you do this: 1. At the GRUB boot menu, press Escape to interrupt the boot process 2. Insert a CD 3. Select the menu entry for Debian If so, then I think this is the same bug and we should be able to apply the fix to Debian 'lenny'. > As far as I am not able to access the machine, this bug report was > done manually, and some information could be missing.
