Package: cdrom
Severity: important
I recently tried to install Lenny for AMD64 from debian-506-amd64-netinst.iso,
using the Belkin f5u103 serial to USB converter, which uses the belkin_sa.ko
module. I have been told that this module is part of the initrd on the iso in
question.
I wanted to install via a serial console using this converter, since I am
unable to read the computer monitor, and since the speakup screen reader
doesn't work with non-standard serial ports yet.
A detailed description of what I tried, and what the results were, can be found
at:
http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/pipermail/speakup/2010-November/051356.html
I eventually got the system installed via debootstrap from within grml64, but
it would have been nice to be able to use the debian installer for that.
I'd be happy to provide more info if needed, and to test possible fixes.

Hi,
thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.
I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old, more than 2.5 years and they had "Lenny" in subject.
If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.
cheers,
Holger
