I've reported this problem before. This laptop has SATA for both the hard drive and the CD. Earlier versions of d-i were able to see only one of the CD and hard drive at a time. I believe d-i beta 2 was able to see both when booting from the CD, but I had other problems and switched back to Ubuntu. Ubuntu Breezy and Dapper both install perfectly on this laptop. I also tried copying the kernel and initrd from the CD to the hard drive and booting with grub: kernel /debian-installer/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=12000 root=/dev/ram rw initrd /debian-installer/initrd.gz boot In this configuration, the system was able to see both the CD and the floppy at the same time and I was able to proceed with installation. I've filed that as a separate installation report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
