You probably have to tell it to load libata before boot.
A library? Is there a debian documentation for that? I never saw anything mensioned about libata being necessary, in releasenotes/wiki in order to use Debian.

It's probably not even finding your cdrom without it.
It does boot from cdrom. I even get the full color installmenu. And when I 'enter' on install, it goes all black and says the kernelpanic thing. I tried expert install as well..all the same.
Not the battery... ok, makes sense what you say. good to know

have you added any new hardware to the system since this last worked?
Yes I did. I changed the mouse which is now usb (instead of ps2 or what s the name) I'll check it out.

NAME
install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.
DESCRIPTION
update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager. install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.
SYNOPSIS
install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>
Read menu entries from stdin in update-menus --stdout format and generate menu files using the specified menu-method.
Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.
OPTIONS
-h,--help
Show the help message and exit.
--remove
Remove the menu files instead of generating them.
-v,--verbose
Output messages about what the program is doing.
COPYING
install-menu is distributed under the term of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
