I am having similar difficulties with Jaunty 9.04 beta alternate i386 CD
install.
I can successfully go through all the following installation stages -
> Selected language
> Selected keyboard layout
> Detecting hardware
> Loaded additional components
> Configured network
> Partitioned disks
BUT during the phase -
> Installing the base system
it gets as far as -
76% "Gathering information for installation report..."
Then a window pops up showing the following -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!!] Install the base system
Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ -
Beta i386 (20090324)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter.
Media change
<Go Back> <Continue>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point I can toggle between <Go Back> and <Continue>, but neither
option can be selected. In addition the eject button on the CD drive
has become disabled, so I was unable to eject and reinsert the disc
(to see if the installation would continue !).
I have repeated the above process several times, each time with more simple
configurations, but each time the same result occurs.
I have checked the MD5SUM of the .iso before burning the disk.
I ran the "Check disc for defects" from "Installer boot menu" and got -
"The CD-ROM integrity test was successful. The CD-ROM is valid"
I ran the "Test memory" and found no errors after 3 full passes.
My hardware is as follows -
Motherboard = Via EPIA 5000 C3 Samuel2 PLE133 533MHz, BIOS 2.07
Memory = 2 * 512MB PC133
HDD = WDC WD800BB 80GB PATA
CD drive = NEC DVD-RW ND-4551A
Before attempting a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 Beta (Jaunty), this
hardware had been running fully updated Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) without
any problems. The CD drive is also known to work as it had been used in
the past few days to install previous versions of Ubuntu, including
alternate versions 7.04 and 8.04.
