Public bug reported:
It is *not* possible anymore to use a local ubuntu-server-12.04.iso file for
off-line installation of VM on XCP 1.5 (xen-server 6).
The created VM boots first correctly from the iso file and allows keyboard
settings etc *but* somewhere later it breakes with the following error message:
# ---
Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the
CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can instert it and try again.
Retry mounting the CD-ROM?

This ubuntu-server 12.04 image can be installed on bare metal (HP DL385g7)
without any troubles.
Also ubuntu sever 11.10 iso image can be successfully installed as VM from a
local iso file on XCP 1.5.
I have repeated the test few times and on two different (fresh insalled) XCP
hosts.
Both iso images are saved localy on the XCP host in the following directories:
/var/opt/xen/iso_import/ubuntu11.10/
/var/opt/xen/iso_import/ubuntu12.04/
What has changed in 12.04 compare to 11.10 due the the mounting of CD-
ROM during the installation? (the CD-ROM label has additional "LTS" text
for 12.04). It is curious as the image boots in firts phase and is
"injected" into the virtual CD drive of XCP 1.5.
