Package: cdrom
Severity: important
i'm trying to install 4.0r2 (etch) from DVDs on a Toshiba Satellite L-300
laptop with a Pentium Dual T3200 processor,
& using default boot (ie no parameters).
i seem to get some error msgs (from the bios, i think, which is an Insyde H2O
BIOS version 1.20), but end up
with the 'choose language' screen. i choose 'english', then 'united kingdom',
then 'british english'.
i see it's 'detecting hardware', then i get 'detect & mount CD-ROM' screen
telling me:
'no common CD-ROM drive was detected, you may need to load additional drivers
from a floppy....etc'.
obviously i have no floppy & i reply: NO. i get: 'manually select CD-ROM
modules & drive'.
replying: YES here gets me a list i don't understand, & replying: NO gets me
'installation step failed'.
i can try to skip this installation step, but it won't allow this
(unsurprisingly, i guess).
the drive is a TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L633A (S4) & i guess that this is what's
causing the problem as it isn't on
the list of known models?
