I got the same issue with alternate CD for RC1. I posted first here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083783
My workaround was simple (and after rebooting I was able to install ubuntu-desktop). Going to tty2 (CTRL+Alt+F2) shows that /cdrom has the right stuff. /target/cdrom points to media/cdrom which in turn points to cdrom0 (yes, all relative to /target). I set the /target/cdrom symlink to /target/media/cdrom0 like: cd /target rm cdrom ln -s /target/media/cdrom0 cdrom Then go back to tty1 (CTRL+Alt+F1) and click "continue". I get an error saying that the "Install base system" step failed and I go back to tty2 (CTRL+Alt+F2), put the symlink back for /target/cdrom: cd /target rm cdrom ln -s media/cdrom cdrom And after this the Install Base System worked and the processed continued. This is not good -- at least it worked. -- Alternate install hangs requesting jaunty CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
