I would also want to report a problem with detecting my CD-ROM drive. I first booted off the CD with the "linux" or "linux26". After selecting the keyboard layout, the installer tried to mount the CDROM, but without success. I got the following error message (perhaps with slight errors, recorded using a pen and paper): [!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again. Try again to mount the CD-ROM When I booted with expert or expert26 and choose the module piix not to be inserted when detecting the CD-ROM, everything went fine. The CD-ROM drive (hdc: SAMSUNG SCR-3232, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive) does not seem to work with DMA under my self-compiled kernel 2.4.27 (from backports.org) that I currently use in the woody installation that I run in everyday use on the same computer. I recall that under the original 2.4.18, it worked. I have not yet had time (or motivation) to investigate this very far. Same thing now after the installation of sarge: If I insert a CD (and something tries to mount it) I get error messages of the following type: hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 572 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 143 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 512 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 128 (...) and the system slows down a lot, being busy retrying. After a "hdparm -d 0 /dev/hdc", the cdrom works fine, but without DMA of course. My installation logs are available at http://iki.fi/kenny/sarge_install/ . They are password "protected" with username "guest" and password "egras". Although I chose to install with the "expert26" option, I recall trying the same with the "expert" option, which also worked fine if I chose not to insert the piix module. I also tried with the daily CD image downloaded on 2005-04-11 from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20050403/ and had exactly the same problem. A second note: I was a little surprised that no version of emacs seemed to be included in the "desktop installation" (don't remember the exact wording) of tasksel. I guess that there is a good reason for this. If you have any questions, I would be happy to try to answer them.
