I've been having troubles installing debian on my system. If I run boot.bat from \boot it starts the installation just fine, but then when it reboots for the first time to install the packages using dselect it can't find my cdrom. My cdrom is an LG Electronics/Goldstar 8160B 16X IDE on the secondary IDE channel as master and it is all alone on the cable. If I create boot diskettes using resc1440.bin, I can use my cd-rom. From chatting on #debian on irc.debian.org it seems to be a kernel problem. Is there any way of fixing this so that when i boot from my hard drive i can gain access to my cd-rom to complete the installation?
By loooking at /var/log/messages it seems that boot isn't finding my secondary pci ide channel. -- Mike Fetherston [EMAIL PROTECTED]
