Try a boot option: all_generic_ide.
Basically your PATA(?) chip may not be recognized with an older kernel.
Do you have a USB CD/DVD drive? It may be easier to use that.

Hi,
I'm attempting to install lenny amd64 (using CD1) on a:
CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz stepping 0a
the CD boots but the kernel fails to find the CDROM. Under Ubuntu the
CDROM device is /dev/scd0 - but no such device exists (in /dev/) when
lenny is booted. I'm wondering whether I'm doing something obviously
wrong?
Ubuntu reports the CDROM as:
$ cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus5:
5,0,0 500) 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-S202J ' 'SB02' Removable
CD-ROM
apologies if it really is straightforward.
regards,
Gaius
