    I've got a machine with DVD & CDRW as separate drives and got a strange error
    that it could find the installation medium when analysing the packages. My
    CDRW is the master with the DVD as Slave.
     
    When I took a CD out of the CDRW, it finally discovered the DVD again and
    continued with no problems.
