I want to install Debian on my HP 9000 J200 box and I encountered a problem
with booting the installation procedure:

Selected kernel: /vmlinux32 from partition 0
Selected ramdisk: /ramdiski from partition 0
ELF32 executable
Entry 00100098 first 00100000 n 6

Segment 5 load 00402048 size 110832 mediaptr 0x2d6048

ERROR: Read from boot device failed (status = -13).
byteio_read: seekread() returned -1 expected 2195456
ERROR: segment 0 read() failed
Fatal error loading kernel executableERROR: failed to load kernel 

I tried the Debian binary-1 CD and netinstall CD. Both with almost same
results ('status = -7' for Debian CD, and 'status = -13' for netinstall
CD).

What could be wrong? Do you know any possible source of this problem?
