I also experienced "Failed to determine the codename for the release" after sw RAID setup using 8.10 Alternate CD.
I found out that this was because cdrom device changed at some point of RAID setup. My solution was: * Open terminal (F2) #mount lists /dev/scd0 on /cdrom #umount /cdrom #mount /dev/scd1 /cdrom scd1 was only one found after entering /dev/scd[TAB]. * Return to menu and select "Rescan cdrom" Suggestion would be to re-mount cdrom after RAID setup is done. -- Gutsy Alternate fails: Debootstrap Error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/143963 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
