If I understand correctly, you are installing from an external (firewire) cd-rom. When you get to the loading modules step, you need to read data from the cd-rom, but don't have support for it yet. You could try to see if knoppix supports the drive, and then see what modules are loaded. Whatever information you could get from a llinux system that works with that drive could be helpful in setting it up in debian. Also, you could try installing from a different source. You could do a network install or load the modules you need from a floppy. To provide any more specific help, I would need to know more about the drive you are trying to get support for. Perhaps someone else on list knows more about firewire drives than I do though. -- Chas Becht mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Public Key available on request) www.unf.edu/~becc0003/ (or coenurus.org if my ISP is up) "I'll need time.
