Thanks for trying again. I have reassigned that report to the kernel team, but I guess they have not followed up on it. The kernel team, as a lot of teams in Debian, is short on manpower, so you may want to raise the issue yourself with the upstream kernel people. If not, please follow up to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have additional information. The only thing I can suggest if you want to install Debian in the mean time is to use an installation method that does not use the CD drive. The installation guide [1] has information on what installation methods are available. You could also wait until we have switched the installer to use the 2.6.18 kernel. It may be the issue is already fixed in that. That will take another couple of weeks though. Cheers, FJP [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/ pgpDG1JMhIEt9.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thank you very much for testing the installer. We are doing a last translation update in a few days, before the final RC1 release. I expect all the remaining English texts will be gone after that.

(Please reply to the debian-boot list.) Preparations for Release Candidate 1 of the installer have now really started. All important functional changes are now included in the daily images.
