I'm having the same problem. I've tried both Intrepid Alternate Beta and the daily build(20081017). The funny thing is that I can reproduce this bug all the time in VMWare, using the cdrom device directly. If I use iso image instead in vmware, it works just fine. But I couldn't reproduce this in VirtualBox OSE.
I'm using an IDE DVDRW drive: NEC ND-3540A I'm using the alternate way of installing debian/ubuntu for 3 years, every 6 months, but this is the first time it happens this. I didn't change my hardware since the last time I've installed Hardy. Actually I even reinstalled Hardy using alternate a few days ago and it works just fine. Here are the last lines of dmesg after the error appears: [ 209.841771] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Sense Key : Not Ready [current] [ 209.841972] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Add Sense : No additional sense information [ 209.842092] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 388 [ 209.859434] ISOFS: unable to read i-node block [ 211.196259] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Sense Key : Not Ready [current] [ 211.196360] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Device not ready: Add Sense : No additional sense information [ 211.196430] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 352 [ 211.196655] ISOFS: unable to read i-node block According to mount, the cdrom is mounted /dev/scd0 on /target/media/cdrom0 type iso9660 I have checked both alternates (beta and daily) for defects. -- Alpha-5 alternate installer fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
