I think this might be a problem that at root is due to some CDROM drives not working well with DMA access to them turned on in the kernel. It seems to happen with Dells quite a bit. Have a look at bug 265636, are the symptoms similar? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265636&repeatmerged=no It would also help to send (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the logfiles from your install (there is a save logs step in main installer menu) and the output of (lspci -n; lspci)|sort Cheers Vince -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
