Can't boot live DVD Debian 6, KDE, 1GB
Ok, this is the second attempt to use the live cd, and I still get the
"ata: SRST failed..." error and then it eventually stops. Tried the
failsafe boot as well. I would really like to try to use Debian, so I
need some help to get the information you need to get this fixed. I can
use a number of livecd's, but Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint are no-go's.
Some info on the computer:
