Dell Optiplex SX280 install failure - can't see CDROM

[arthureggplant]

Stollen from here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440

1. boot up installer as normal
2. Choose Language
3. Skip to tty2 by hitting alt-F2
4. do:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.xxxxx/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.xxxxx/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.xxxxx/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-generic.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.xxxxx/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.xxxxx/kernel/drivers/ideide-core.ko


this worked for me (typing from ubuntu now), but i still haven't gotten
my cdrom to work post installation. Sigh.
