Re : Woody install problem

 Hi Stefan,

 you downloaded a CD "off the web"
   tried to install from it,
   installer kernel couldnt communicate with the CD drive and bailed out.

 1) get Install manual from debian website
 2) make sure you download CD that boots flavor that is right for you
 3) why not plug your CDROM in as busmaster ?

 i assume hda (master on first IDE interface) is your harddisk
 i assume hdd (slave on second IDE interface) is your CDROM
 if it is a CDRW, then maybe you need to pass an argument to kernel,
   see CDRW Howto for that.
 anyway, afaik, often slave doesnt use interrupts, but gets polled,
   there is often a jumper on CD drive that sets it to be busmaster.

 hope this helps,

 Siward
