Hi, |

I am trying to install the latest liveCD 2005.1 on a Dell Optiplex GX100 |
| 4 |
and I am having a CDROM problem. It seems that the computer uses a |
| 5 |
smaller than standard CD drive to fit in the case, but it came with no |
| 6 |
CD drive so I hooked up a temporary standard CDROM drive with the cover |
| 7 |
off just for the install. |

When the CD boots, the first symptom of sickness is that it can't find |
| 10 |
the gentoo "spash image". then it goes through the first part OK but |
| 11 |
then hangs forever as soon as it gets to the following: |

::Scanning for dm-mod...dm-mod loaded. |

>> Activating udev |
| 17 |
>> Making tmpfs for /newroot |
| 18 |
>> Attempting to mount CD:- /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 |

I have 3 of these machines and all 3 have the same problem. I tried to |
| 22 |
install another distro "Vector Linux" and it seems there are similar |
| 23 |
issues with that too. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I don't think it is a hardware problem because I am using 3 different |
| 26 |
machines and CD drives. |

What can I do to fix this? |
