Thanks!

Bug 658865 had info about installer (I knew nothing about it).  So I
made couple more tests.  I used a 8 GB USB stick. It had other files
also, including some Release files from Ubuntu and Debian mirrors.  My
guess is that installer program found those, when looking for archive
from CD. It did not return 'CD not found' when archive test failed.
Instead it returned, according to syslog:

Apr 21 11:51:51 ubuntu apt-setup: warning: /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-
setup/generators/40cdrom returned error code 1; discarding output

That caused installer to crash.  I verified this by deleting those
extra files from stick.  After that installer worked perfectly!

Perhaps 658865 had same situation.

syslog has:

Oct 12 01:27:31 ubuntu apt-setup: Found label 'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ 
- Release i386 (20101007)'
...
Oct 12 01:29:32 ubuntu apt-setup: warning: 
/usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/generators/40cdrom returned error code 1; 
discarding output

Perhaps he did 'cat cd.image > /dev/usbstick' before using usb-creator.


So perhaps installer cannot handle 'discarding output' situation
correctly.

I deleted extra files from my stick, but I believe I can recreate
situation if needed.
