I've just faced this exact problem on a HP DL140 G2.

Take a look at the Errata at 
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/

Specifically, run the installer in export mode and when you select to 
"Detect and Mount CD-ROM", select only the required drivers 
(ide-generic, ide-cd, isofs).  Specfically I found in my case that 
loading ata_piix would prevent the CD-ROM from functioning.
