This also affects the PowerPC port. The workaround is to decline to try loading drivers from removable media, then to accept the option to select loadable modules. At that point the only offer (on the PPC) was "none". Select that and the next dialog requests the device name of the CD-ROM drive.
In the case of the iMac G4 PowerPC it is "/dev/hdb" (which can be determined by switching to tty2 (Alt+F2), pressing Enter to start a busybox prompt, and then doing "ls -l /dev/?d?" and looking for sdX or hdX devices that *are not* the hard drive. -- lucid 20100324 alternate cd: "no common cdrom drive" error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546489 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
