When launching installer of RH7.1 from bootable CD, it always finish on 
dialogue about type of installation (from CD or HDD). When I select CD I 
always get message like "Unable to find CD-ROM with installation", but it 
is already in maschine (it was booted up from it...).
I found a problem like this on Listserver, but the solution there 
(disconnect CDRW drive and use only CDROM) did not work for me.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert bootable install CD
2. start installation, pressing ENTER in installeation type
3. choosing language and keyboard layout
4. choosing installation type - from CD or HDD
	

Actual Results:  Installer is always unable to find CDROM drive with RH7.1 
installation.

Expected Results:  Start to install - ask about components etc.

I have an QDI mainboard with Celeron 500, 768 RAM, 1x20 GB Maxtor PLUS 
(IDE), 1x15GB IBM (ide), 1xTEAC CDRW (ide) and 1xTOSHIBA CDROM (ide).

Try making a boot floppy from the boot.img in the /images directory on the cd.
Boot from that floppy and select CDROM as the installation media.  Does this fix
the problem?
