If you have a sata dvd drive on a very new chipset, you'll need a
newer kernel with the correct drivers enabled. I had similar problems
installing Debian on a Dell R200 server. In the end, I had to install
by booting using a custom kernel.

Hi all,
Am facing a installation problem in Debian Lenny Beta 2. I downloaded
the dvd version and when I tried to install it in my pc, the cdrom
drive(LG DVD writer) is not getting detected. The installation is
failing in the step, "Detect and Mount CD-ROM."
I googled and found that I could pass kernel parameters libata=1 or
libata.atapi_enabled=1 to over come the issue. But even after giving
the parameters I got the same errors. I guess the problem would not be
uncommon, can some one give a solution for this
thanks,
siva.
