CDROM Installation issue on IBM Power3

["Rik Harbers" <rik.harbers@ifh.ee.ethz.ch>]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem installing Debian on our IBM Power3 machine (it's a
RS/6000 44P 270).

The CD boots fine, but there seems to be a problem with the sym53c8xx driver
needed to mount the CDROM for the actual installation.
On loading this driver the installer hangs.

Does someone have a solution to this issue?

Thanks,

Rik
