Title:
  usb disk created with universal-usb-installer fails to install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  universal-usb-installer was used to install ubuntu 10.10 server 64
  bit. The installation halts with error:

  [!!] Load installer components from CD

  There was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If
  retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of your CD-ROM.

  Failed to copy file from CD-ROM. Retry?
  <Yes>  < No>

  Modifying the file name "fs-secondary-modules-2.6.32-21-generic-
  di_2.6.32-21.32_amd64.ude" to "fs-secondary-modules-2.6.32-21-generic-
  di_2.6.32-21.32_amd64.udeb" in the folder "\pool\main\l\linux" solves
  the problem.

  There are 3 files in the "\pool\main\l\linux" folder on the usb stick
  which seem to have incorrect *.udeb naming:

  firewire-core-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.ud
  fs-secondary-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.ude
  pcmcia-storage-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.u

  apparently the file name is truncated when it is longer than 64
  characters. The usb stick was created with Universal-USB-
  Installer-1.8.3.4 running on Windows 7 professional 64 bit.
