Hi All,

I have attempted to install Debian Sarge on an IBM Power3 machine. After
some initial issues I managed to boot from the CD and get into the
installer.

My problem starts when the installer tries to mount the CD. The process
hangs on loading the sym53c8xx driver or complains about not finding a
CDROM when I exclude this driver.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks,

Rik
