No common CD-ROM drive was detected
Hi, again -- I recently posted on an issue with installing Debian Lenny on a new workstation with a Lite-On DVD writer. I had thought that the problem was the driver, but it turns out that my problem is a more familiar one, the No common CD-ROM drive was detected error with SATA optical drives. I've seen a couple of suggestions around the internet for what to do, but I'm not able to understand them well enough to use them. 1. Boot in expert26 mode and deselect ata-piix. My problem is that I don't know how to boot into expert26 mode from the Debian Lenny DVD I have. Can I defeat the autorun of the installer on the Debian DVDs? It looks like I can edit the commands which come up on the installer boot menu, so maybe that's the thing to do. 2. Any other suggestions for how to get around this apparently-notorious issue in the installer? There are many references to it over the years, but many of them are several years old and I'm reluctant to try them out now. Thanks in advance, -PT

I did not see that error when installing Lenny from any of my sata DVD drives :-? Could this be related to the BIOS SATA mode? I expressly switch all my computers to use AHCI (not RAID nor enhanced SATA mode) whether available.

Re: No common CD-ROM drive was detected
Camaleon -- your suggestion did the trick! I changed the appropriate BIOS setting to AHCI, and the install was able to continue. The installer is currently setting up the filesystem on the hard drive... Thanks for straightening that out for me! -PT On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 11:27 AM, Peter Tenenbaum quar...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, again -- I recently posted on an issue with installing Debian Lenny on a new workstation with a Lite-On DVD writer.

Any solutions? TIA. Somewhere I read an explicit recommendation not to download the latest images, but that was a few months ago. I don't remember where I read it, but maybe using a different version of the Etch installer might help. Mine is also a T43, and the image I used worked.

I do, because it seems the names of the devices of SATA drive changes between 2.6 and 2.4 (am I wrong ? in 2.4 they are hdc and hdd and on 2.6 they are sda and sdb or the reverse) and although it would be trivial to change with a rescue disk, I am making a RAID1 between the two disk and the header that identifies the devices are wrong, so the device can't be initialize (unless, by hand).

No common CD-ROM drive was detected
Buenas tardes, Al tratar de instalar Debian 3.1 arrancando con un kernel 2.6 sobre un servidor Supermico con placa base P4SCI (1) me encuentro con este error: No common CD-ROM drive was detected El problema se soluciona arrancando con un kernel 2.4, pero necesito arrancar con un 2.6. Buscando por Google no he encontrado gran cosa, solo salen archivos .po con la traducción de ese texto y poco mas.. ¿Alguna idea para solucionar este problema? Saludos [1] http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/E7210/P4SCi.cfm
Re: No common CD-ROM drive was detected
Probaste cambiando los cables IDE o cambiando la lectora de CD? Aunque no conozco esa marca parecen buenos componentes, ademas si la lectora no es un modelo medio raro seria extraño que el kernel 2.6 de Debian no la reconociera. Yo particularmente me inclino por un problema de hardware.
