Title:
  Ubuntu alternate installer fails when run from multi-boot usb device

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When running a multi-boot usb drive and mounting ISO files to do
  installs, the ubuntu alternate(-i386) install cd fails.  It will load
  and get part of the way (past the language/keyboard selection screens)
  then fails saying "Incorrect CD-ROM detcted".  However, running the
  desktop(-i386) ISO from the same USB device works fine.

  The multi-boot usb was setup similarly to:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604

  The grub.cfg file being used for both the good (desktop) and bad
  (alternate) boot images is attached to this.
