Disabling BIOS access to a device is not the same as disabling the device. Linux will still use it. However, some BIOSes do also disable the IRQ from the device, leaving you with a device visible to Linux but no way of getting IRQs from it. This can cause a problem with some USB interfaces. Better to either just enable it and ignore it, or alias the module for the driver for it to null to prevent Linux from initialising the controller. Cheers; Leon

When you burn a iso image, do mkcd --checkmd5 /dev/cdrom to check if it is burned right first. You can also do it on your ISO image in case it is corrupted (mkcd --checkmd5 isofile) -- Warly

Odd - never had problems installing Mandrake 8.2 this way. I'm just recreating the iso's off the current mirror contents and will let you know. Andy

Re: CDROM Install (RE: [Cooker] Install Exited Abnormally)
I also have been having a problem with the 9.0 beta iso images. I've burned about 5 copies of it and none of them will install. It will get to the Loading program box, the bar graph will go 60% across and then I'll get an error about not being able to execute /usr/bin/runinstall2. I was able to get cooker install from a local hard drive mirror copy, but not from cd. I think it may be the DMA settings for the IDE controller because I can get passed that point using the 2.2 kernel, but it doesn't recognize reiserfs partitions. I have not found a way of disabling DMA on the CDROM drive yet... hdc=nodma or ide1=nodma doesn't work.
