[Bug 1221356] Re: hd-media installer rejects official raring ISO

Fri Sep 6 00:36:53 UTC 2013

I just tried this with saucy beta1 (gnome edition, as the unity one
isn't available yet), with the same result:

Curiously, the saucy installer preferred the 13.04 iso over the 13.10
one when it could find both. In order to get it to even try the 13.10
iso, I had to rename the 13.04 one so it wouldn't be found, otherwise:

Just as a sanity check, I am once again including the sha1sums of the
files I used. They match the published ones:

Title:
  hd-media installer rejects official raring ISO

Status in “cdrom-retriever” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Following the Ubuntu 13.04 Installation Guide's USB install
  instructions for amd64 at https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/installation-
  guide/amd64/ch04s03.html#usb-copy-flexible doesn't work, it seems. I
  guess not many people are using the hd-media + ISO install method? The
  ISO is located and mounted successfully, then rejected due to missing
  items in the Packages file.

  What I did:

  1) Downloaded vmlinuz and initrd.gz to a USB drive from
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/

  2) Set up syslinux to boot those two

  3) Downloaded to the same flash drive ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso

  4) Booted from the flash drive.

  After the ISO is located and mounted, the installer errors out and is
  unable to proceed. The log says:
