Package: Debian installer (DVD-iso binary-1)
Version: 3.1_r0a

When installing the DVD-iso of release "Sarge" 3.1_r0a the 
installation process can't be continued when arriving at the 
installation menu containing the 'choose keyboard, choose language, 
verify CD images, load modules,....' options.

The computer used is a Compaq presario 7588 (pentium 4) containing a 
Compaq DVD-player and a HP CD-writer. This configuration installs in a 
correct way the Fedora-core-2 (from CD-rom, using the HP-CDWriter) and 
the Mandrake-9.2 releases (from DVD, using the DVD-player), so the 
hardware is working correctly.

The system boots correctly from the DVD containing the first binary 
DVD-iso (with correct MD5). When trying to verify the images or load 
modules the installation process expect a CD inside the CD-player. It 
hangs up some time and later on it asks for a CD. When inserting a 
dummy CD into the CD-player with the intention that the installation 
program detects that it's wrong and starts looking on the second (DVD-)
drive, the program reports that it's not a Debian CD that is 
found, "please insert the Debian CD". 

It seems that the DVD-iso contains some code meant for the CD-iso: 
When booting from DVD the installation program forgets from which 
drive it booted (from the DVD-player), and starts looking for the 
installation CDROM, which is not present.
