Dear all, I am having some difficulties installing Debian onto my new machine. The hardware is: 1)CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.40 GHz, L2 Cache 4096 kB 2)Board: Intel Desktop Board DG965WH 3)DVD Recorder: ASUS Lightscribe Drive DRW-1814BL and some other more or less standard equipment.
The problem is that the installation CDs start the installation but then do not recognize the DVD drive (I have used jigdo for Testing CD #1), even after BIOS updates. I think the problem is that a relatively recent loadable kernel module is required, because Kubuntu is able to start and recognizes all my hardware. I therefore did an "lsmod" for both CDs, and found a list of modules that are loaded in the working Kubuntu installation CD and are absent in the Debian installation that doesnt work. I have not been able to find a good description of the various modules, but I would assume that it is ata_generic and or pata_marvell from the sound of it. (See complete list below). My question is, how do I prepare these modules to use them for the Debian install CD? Do I need to compile an entire new kernel version or is there a better way?
