i re-ran the install and made sure to only select ext4 this time. i did get a proper message saying that because i didnt pick to format the partition, files and directories would be deleted prior installing. after the interactive part of ubiquity the complaint about /cdrom being unmountable showed up again and i was kicked back to manual partitioning.
