I took a look in documentation of my Plextor CDROM. The jumper is called "blocksize" but not all drives provide it. I guess if you can't find the info, your drive cannot be switched into this mode (this is why I bought a Plextor CDROM for instance). Anyway, this mode is only required by the boot prom to boot off CDROM directly. Linux can cope with standard 2048 bytes/sector when loaded, thefore you can try booting from floppy (rescue+root images) or network (tftpboot image) then continue to install from CDROM. Hope this helps. -- Eric Delaunay | S'il n'y a pas de solution, c'est qu'il n'y [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a pas de problème. Devise Shadok.
