Laptops :: Can't find my cd drive

If the cdrom is connected by a pcmcia card and DSL begins to boot from it but then fails...  Try booting like this

boot: dsl ide2=0x180 nopcmcia

This works!

I have a Sony Viao Picturebook.  Model is slightly different than original post: PCG-C1X

Same boot symptoms as original post and same fix.
One month later. Ive got DSL installed debian style :) had to borrow another CDROM in the end. Thanks to Roberts for his efforts

original here.
