J7000: Problem to Install Kernel and Driver Modules

Hi, there,

I am trying to install Linux on a HP J-7000 machine.
I burned the Debian 3.0 R1 CD 1 and 2, boot the system to the following screen:
===========================================
Debian GNU/Linux Installation Main Menu
You've mounted your root filesystem. You may initialize and
mount additional filesystems, or you may go on to install
the operating system kernel and the modules.
Next : Install Kernel and Driver Modules
Alternate : Initialize a Linux Partition Alternate1: Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition Configure the Keyboard x x x x Partition a Hard Disk x x x x Initialize and Activate a Swap Partition x x x x Activate a Previously-Initialized Swap Partition x x x x Do Without a Swap Partition x x x x Initialize a Linux Partition x x x x Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition x x x x Unmount a Partition x x x
===========================================

So I selected to " Install Kernel and Driver Modules ". For the next screen, I selected cdrom. Then I got the following:

"Please place the first Debian CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. "

Since the CD is already in place, I select continue. Now the screen says:
=================
Mount failed
The CD-ROM was not mounted successfully.
<Continue>
================

I tried to eject the CD and insert it again, NO success. I also tried to insert the number 2 CD, still the same failure.

Did anyone see this before? (The mail archive is huge, I did a cursory search, but failed to find an answer.) Since the system can boot from the CD, I suppose it should not have any problem to mount it. What is wrong with it?

(Is it because that the CD-ROM has already been mounted? and nobody umount it?)

Thanks and regards,

Xianjie
