Folks, I've a new machine with a "writemaster" CDROM drive. When trying
to install Debian 4.0 from iso image burnt to CD, it initially
recognises the CD and starts the installation but fails at the screen
where the CD drive is to be recognised (for continuing the
installation). I've tried various module/device combos but all to no
avail. I've looked about on Google but not come up with a working
solution.

Has anybody else successfully uses this CDROM drive to install Debian,
or have suggestions on how I can determine a working module/device
combo. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks, Michael

Its likely that the machine has more bearing on this problem than the
CDROM itself. We need more information regarding the Motherboard and in
particular the IDE or SATA chip the drive is connected to.

Have you tried to boot a live CD like Knoppix or Ubuntu? If this boots
OK the output of

lspci -vv
lsmod

would identify the correct modules to load.

I've not had the opportunity to boot from a live CD but it came with
Fedora installed so here's output of those commands plus stuff about
CDROM from the fedora boot/dmesg:

It would appear from this, and other info in subsequent e-mails, that
you need to load the 'ata_piix' module. When the install stalls do
Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to another terminal and 'modprobe ata_piix'.
Apologies if you have already tried this.

There is a possibility that the etch kernel is not new enough for this
MB, what kernel does fedora run on? If this is the case you may need a
custom installer, google is your friend here.

(not 100% sure that's all the relevant info...)

any ideas? I've tried all I can think of and Googled endlessly...

Folks, I've a new machine with a "writemaster" CDROM drive. When trying
to install Debian 4.0 from iso image burnt to CD, it initially
recognises the CD and starts the installation but fails at the screen
where the CD drive is to be recognised (for continuing the
installation). I've tried various module/device combos but all to no
avail. I've looked about on Google but not come up with a working
solution.

Has anybody else successfully uses this CDROM drive to install Debian,
or have suggestions on how I can determine a working module/device
combo. Please let me know if you need any further information.

As W-J, suggested elsewhere, I've tried a Ubuntu installation CD which
does indeed
detect and use the CDROM okay (and the box cames with a working Fedora
that has successfully written a CD).

Here's a snippet of the syslog:

(not 100% sure that's all the relevant info...). I also note that Debian
fails to detect the (on-board) Ethernet connections. Perhaps it is as
W-J suggested and this mobo is too modern (not sure where to check this)

any ideas? I've tried all I can think of and Googled endlessly...

Thanks
Michael

I've installed etch amd64 and i386 successfully many times. I'm not sure what
the problem is but you might be able to use the daily install from testing to
get going. You can get the it from here..

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/da...t/i386/iso-cd/

If you get the businesscard iso and boot it in expert mode it will prompt you
if you want to install stable, testing or unstable. I would try to install
stable and if your successful run "apt-cdrom add" for your cd or dvd images
after you boot and install whatever else you want.

That image contains nothing but the installer, you need to have an active
network connection to install with it.

Good luck..

That's probably the reason then if the box is very new. Look for a
custom installer or, if the box is not mission critical, try the testing
installer which should have a newer kernel.
