I reproduce this bug every time using the 7.04 beta server install. However the suggested device name workaround change to "/dev/scd0" doesn't get me past the the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step. Below are the lsusb and lsscsi bash reports of my hardware using the 7.04 beta >desktop< installation.
$ lsscsi [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-5000 0212 /dev/scd0 $ lsusb Bus 005 Device 003: ID 04cf:8818 Myson Century, Inc. Fast 3.5" External Storage It is also worthwhile to note that the above USB/DVD drive hardware is neither automatically mounted nor is readable by the 7.04 IA64 desktop release even if manually mounted. However this exact hardware is mounted automatically and fully operational in the 6.10 x86 desktop release. There appear to be very serious problems with USB device configuration in 7.04 all around. As well this particular DVD device alone when configured on the IDE bus works in all cases. -- Installer does not properly detect USB CDROM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104113 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
