Hi, Probably what you have is a SATA dvd recorder, thats why it get not recognized by Debian Etch.
You can install either Etch or Sarge provided you use the 2.4 series kernel. If you want 2.6 kernel for Sarge you'll have to build your own kernel or get a precompiled kernel image (it must be greater than 2.6.8). Or you can install Etch with 2.4 kernel (just do a base install), then manually install 2.6 kernel image. To make the dvd recorder work have a look here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#DVD_drive_not_recognized may be it will help solve your problem Regards Mirto Silvio Busico wrote: > Hi all, > I have to install Debian on a notebook: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R52 sub 1846. > > All I've tried filed. > > With Etch: > sata hd recognized > dvd recorder not recognized (tied to install with an external usb > dvd reader) > istallation starts > dhcp works > istallation is stalled and the machine doesn'work anymore > > With Sarge (3.1 r 3): > dvd recognized > sata hd not recognized > dhcp doesnt work > > What can I do to install any Debian version? > > Anyoune installed Debian on this kind of machine? > > Regards > Mirto > > > > > -- Vasil Benov, Mobile: +359(0)889/202682 @-mail: benovv at gmail dot com ICQ: 140269988 GPG Fingerprint: 2CDC 5DA0 4C0A 7C06 5259 DE12 ACF3 177C 8906 0908 Public Key URL: 1) http://www.student-zw.fh-kl.de/~vabe0001/misc/key.asc 2) http://sks.keyserver.penguin.de/
