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 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.
