Hello, In some motherboards like Asus K8V VM with SATA harddisk, IT@School Installation stops with the following error. Error: No partitionable Media found The problem is with the sata controller of those motherboards. You can try the latest debian installer from http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/2.6.19/sarge-custom-1115.iso Start the installation with this iso. You'll get the base system working. Then login as root and add the IT@School GNU/Linux to the repositary with the command # apt-cdrom add Then with the command # tasksel install the rest of the packages. If the CDROM is not detected after rebooting, try this. 1. Progress installation until GRUB installation step. 2. Push Alt+F2 to go to the shell. 3. Add modules to load and rebuild initrd as following: chroot /target echo "libata" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules echo "ata_piix" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.19-rc3-1-486 exit 4. Push Alt+F1 and finish the installation.
