Hi,
I've looked every where but cant find anything other than people
saying try the net install I've tried the net install and it still
has the same problem. The problem is when the installer gets to
Detect and mount CD-Rom it keeps saying no common cdrom how can I
mount my cdrom and tell the install where it is. It boots and I can
see the drive in /dev/disk/by-id I've tried putting this in when it
asks where the cdrom is to no avail. please help sorry if this is not
formatted well my good keyboard is on the machine I'm trying to

saw someone say that the newer kernel doesn't support dell but that
wouldn't work either.

If it's having trouble installing from CD, you can try installing from
USB stick instead. Debian makes it easy by having their .iso files
bootable from CD or USB. Just cp the .iso to the USB device (not to a
partition on it). e.g. if your USB stick shows up as /dev/sdd1, cp the
.iso to /dev/sdd (note the lack of partition number). This will wipe
out the entire stick, so make sure you don't have anything important
on it.
I thiink you should dd the .iso to the stick, not cp
From
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install.txt.en
cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
cat can also be used.
We have no idea how the OP wrote the ISO. If we knew that we might know
where the problem lies.
No, but I've seen the problem crop up before. I haven't seen it
recently but remember it from the days before you could boot from a
usb stick.
As I recall, the problem was that booting from the CD reader takes place
in the BIOS while accessing it from Linux needs a driver. If the CD
reader needs a special driver, you could be in trouble.
