You may try the suggestion in http://wiki.foosel.net/linux/t43 - Boot in expert26 mode. - deselect ata-piix when asked for modules to enable - CD-ROM will be detected - Next prompt for modules should offer ata-piix. Select it. That worked for me at least. Regards, Victor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
