Public bug reported: Using Ubuntu 8.10 alpha5 64 bit.
When attempting to install from alternate CD, the installer fails to mount the cdrom. A dialog allows manually choosing a driver, but the only option is 'cdrom'. Running 'check cd media' results in the same thing. Using the desktop installer, it locks up badly, killing the display and requiring rebooting the computer from the reset switch. I have re-burned the install ISO using two different brands of media. Ubuntu 8.04 mounts the cdrom without any issues.
