Is 2.4.5 the latest version of the kernel or something else? Where can I download it? I started an install last night, got as far as reboot before it lost the cd. On the ~Enter device Name~ screen, the system does read the cd (closes cd-tray after I press enter and reads), but does not change The debug logs show entries like "disk changed noticed at ide0(3,64) These don't work: boot: linux ide-scsi=hdb boot: linux hdb=cdrom And it could be a Master Boot Record. The win98 cd doesn't auto-start, but the Tyan (motherboard) device cd does. This a.m. the Debian 2.2R3 B1 cd boots. Running Fdisk /mbr in dos brought no visible change Suggestions appreciated/st >> What modules / parameters do I need to install a cd-rom >> at io=0x1f0 and interrupt=14? >> >> It's a samsung cd-rw sw-208.
