Package: installation-reports Followup-For: Bug #855075 Dear Maintainer,
(no need to cc me on followups tks) tags moreinfo thanks hello, i ran into a similar problem, but not with DVDs, instead it was that i had two USB sticks which happened to have iso images on them and during the install d-i changed to considering the second device the one it was loading things from. i was able to open a shell and get it corrected, but for someone else who may not know how to do this it could be a surprise. the fun started when d-i wrote the new partition table information and then then was trying to load things from it... :) of course, wiping the second device would have made the problem not happen. ant -- Package-specific info: Boot method: USB Stick Image version: d-i netinst RC2 i386 Date: <Date and time of the install> Machine: old PC the two USB sticks show up as /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg.
