This drive is ATAPI-IDE and will read if you use the ide-cd driver. For writing, the ide-scsi driver is required although this driver will work for reading as well, which simplifies things. See the CD-Writing-HOWTO for further information. Done. Try 'modprobe ide-scsi' and see if the drive is reported. If so, add ide-scsi to /etc/modules. # modprobe ide-scsi modprobe: failed to load module ide-scsi Now what? My CD-RW is in the secondary master. Please help.

I looked up that drive on the Sony web site and it is definitely an ATAPI drive. It has the same specifications as my drive (which apparently is the OEM version of the same device), so I have no idea what the problem might be. I installed a Samsung SC-148B CD driver in my secondary master and tried the installation. Guess what. I had exactly the same problem. It seems not to be something of the CD or CD-RW driver. Might it be the motherboard? Please help.

Maybe it would help if you tried to get it working after the installation, from a running debian (or other linux) system. Then we could tell if the debian installer is at fault, or if the kernel lies somewhere in kernel or hardware space. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Sarge netinst: CD-RW Sony CRX175A1
Hi. I'm netinstalling Debian Sarge from a minimal CD. I boot the CD and it fails to autodetect the CD drive, maybe because it's a CD-RW. It's Sony CRX175A1. The installation show me the following list of kernel modules: aztcd, cdu31a, cm206, gscd, isp16, mcd, mcdx, optcd, sbpcd, sjcd, sonycd535. Which may I choose? I suspect that none of the above because my drive is CD-RW. Please help.

Those are all meant to drive the older CD-ROM drives on proprietary interfaces. I suspect what's more likely is that you have your drive on some interface that the install kernel doesn't recognize, such as an add-on PCI controller.
