I can confirm it's still reproductable on lucid alternate, I've tried adding "cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" on boot but nothing changed.
Then I tried another solution that was successful on 9.04 (didn't remember the exact syntax, but something like this, the idea was to mount the key itself into the /cdrom directory and then point it when it says the cdrom can't be found): - switch to the second virtual console during the first couple of dialogs by pressing the "ALT-2" - mkdir /cdrom /dev/cdroms - cd /dev/cdroms - ln -s ../sda1 cdrom0 (where sda1 is your USB stick) - mount -t vfat /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /cdrom - switch back to the first virtual console by pressing "ALT-1" and continue installation But this was also unsuccessful. In the end I tried to copy the iso image in the usb key and, similar to above, mounting the iso in loop as a cd.. but no changes. It's useful to install the alternate cd to configure lvm, and if you have a netbook using the usb key is the unique solution.. Ps: the server version does the same thing as the alternate. -- Alternate CD cdrom-detect.postinst does not consider USB flash drive/key. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234185 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
