[Bug 982430] Re: Regression: Error - Ubuntu-server 12.04 installation as VM on xen-server 6 (use of local iso file)

[SysAdm]

Has anybody figured out a way to install 12.04 64 server version as Xen
VM??  I even tried mounting a CIFS share using just the .iso, still
bombs with the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" error message?

I even tried upgrading from 11.04 and 11.10 to 12.04 on a virtual
machine... upgrade bombs with a hardware checksum error, reboots box and
no longer sees the installation files...

Anybody got 12.04 running as a Citrix VM... maybe you can export as a
.xva for all of us to try out!!!!

Title:
  Regression: Error - Ubuntu-server 12.04 installation as VM on xen-
  server 6 (use of local iso file)

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

Bug description:
  It is *not* possible anymore to use a local ubuntu-server-12.04.iso file for off-line installation of VM on XCP 1.5 (xen-server 6).
  The created VM boots first correctly from the iso file and allows keyboard settings etc *but* somewhere later it breakes with the following error message:
  # ---
  Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can instert it and try again.

  Retry mounting the CD-ROM?
  # ---

  This ubuntu-server 12.04 image can be installed on bare metal (HP DL385g7) without any troubles.
  Also ubuntu sever 11.10 iso image can be successfully installed as VM from a local iso file on XCP 1.5.
  I have repeated the test few times and on two different (fresh insalled) XCP hosts.

  Both iso images are saved localy on the XCP host in the following directories:
  /var/opt/xen/iso_import/ubuntu11.10/
  /var/opt/xen/iso_import/ubuntu12.04/

  What has changed in 12.04 compare to 11.10 due to the mounting of CD-
  ROM during the installation? (the CD-ROM label has additional "LTS"
  text for 12.04). It is curious as the image boots in firts phase and
  is "inserted" into the virtual CD drive of XCP 1.5.
