I tried different boot method: - install libata.atapi_enabled=1 FAILED - expert , then chose only ide-generic, ide-cd and isofs to detect the sata drive -> failed (see Errata for release 3.1r0, http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/) - boot from usbdrive, tried to modprobe relevant modules -> failed you can get my laptop spec from here: http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as9410.htm cheers, chantra > On Sunday 26 November 2006 18:06, chantra wrote: >> Comments/Problems: >> The installer boots fine, but when it come to CD drive detection, it >> fails so you can't go on the installation. > > Note that the daily builds were known to be broken for a few days, but > should be fixed again now. > > If it still does not work with a new daily image, could you please try the > troubleshooting instructions at: > http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#unreliable-cd > > Cheers, > FJP > -- http://www.debuntu.org http://repository.debuntu.org
