Hi dear Mr/Mrs,


Several days ago, I succeded download the DVD version of DVD intel x86 for
Debian Linux and when I wanted to install Linux during the process of
installation I got the problems.
The DVD RW isn't able to be detected. So, from the first step I could not
pass this step that my DVDRW is not detected (I don't know whether it isn't
mounted or not, because I am blank of Linux) I also don't know whether the
DVD RW is non-IDE or non-SCSI CDRom drive or not.
I use Laptop LG E-50 Intel Core Duo T7100 (1.8 GHz), 2048 MB, 160 GB.

I have no idea how to load module and the device to use it. Module manual of
CDROM that I read (such as aztcd,cdrom, cdu31a, cm206, gscd, gscd, isp16,
mcdx, optcd, sbpcd, jscd, sonycd535) are not suitable to mount and detect my
DVDRW for continuing installation the Linux.
even in /dev/ I don't find any hda, hdb, hdc or cdrom... I found ptyp0 -
ptypf, ram0 - ram15, psaux, ppp, null, vcs1-vcsa5, etc

I have read the manual, but I found nothing to solve this problem.
Please help me for solving this matter.

Sincerely yours,
Eric Jansen


My laptop is IBM R40e. My internal CD drive is broken, so I used a
external DVD RW drive to install Debian by a DVD disk.
My installation was just OK except the speed( USB 1.1).
