Well, somehow the installer knows that it is reading an PATA optical drive even thorough USB. I connected such an optical drive to my Vantec connect any drive to a USB cable dongle toy. I started an install of server 10.04.1 and it died as described in the original bug. I will connect a SATA optical drive to the thing tomorrow and see what happens.
