Still an issue in Natty. Worse, actually, because the installer starts trying to copy files from /cdrom right after it finishes partitioning, and you don't have time to re-mount it.
A workaround (for systems with enough RAM) is to copy the files in /cdrom to the running ramdisk. Ie, after booting the LiveCD but before starting the installer, open a terminal and do: - sudo cp -r /cdrom /cdrom2 - sudo umount -l -r -f /cdrom - sudo rmdir /cdrom - sudo mv /cdrom2 /cdrom Then install - it completed for me without any problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313452 Title: Jaunty, Karmic: when booting from one partition and installing to another, installer fails to unmount '/cdrom' this halts installation.
