Hi,
Iīm still having problems with the CD-ROM detection. I was using the CD image of http://www.acm.cs.rpi.edu/~dilinger/iso.img as of http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2005/04/msg00191.html but I still have the same behaviour. Isnīt anywhere available a CD-ISO-bootimage with the 2.6 kernel, that has the bug fixed ? Any other suggestions? Netbooting isnīt a real alternative ...

Hi Heiko,
I am sorry to hear it is not working out for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a CD with 2.6 kernel. It is also pretty disappointing, because we have already received a few successful reports about installs with this image and I was pretty confident that this problem was taken care of. One thing which I would like you to do, if possible, is to start the install and, once you get an error, return to main menu and start a shell. Then try looking at the list of modules loaded (using lsmod), there should be the IDE module (for your machine it is alim15x3, I believe), and isofs, ide-cd and ide-detect, at least. If either of them is not present, run the commands 'modprobe <module>', loading ide-detect last. After that either the cd device should appear (it is system specific, on my machine it it /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd) or you will get some errors on console or in the dmesg output. It would be very helpful if you could report the results of this experiment.
Thanks a lot for testing,
