I saw lots of people having the same problem, and the cause was HD and
CD-ROM on the same IDE.
You must open your computer, attach (only) the CD-ROM on the secondary
IDE, and use /dev/hdd instead. If the computer's firmware is so old that
it doesn't recognize one slave device without master on the secondary
IDE, you must change your CD-ROM's jumper to set the CD-ROM drive as
master (/dev/hdc).
It _will_ solve your problem.
