Subject: base-install cannot figure out how to install Package: install Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
*** Please type your report below this line *** While trying to install with 3.1 Testing (net-install), base-install fails severely. In attempt to install base-config after partition / format, I get the following error message: "cannot install base system. the installer cannot figure out how to install the base system. no installable cdrom was found and no valid mirror was configured." The strange part is the cdrom was found, as it's a prerequisite for even installing the system or anything else! If you need more information on my system, please contact me at this email. I have saved all the included Debug information provided by the installer.
