Last night I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 with the amd64 alternate install-CD; and I should also mention that I also setup a full system encryption with LUKS using encrypted LVM. I've done this before with the 32-bit edition, and then it worked fine. Now I got this error message after I did the partitioning and came somewhat into the copying of files from the CD-ROM with a CD-R disk:
Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release amd64 (some number) in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter.
Then everything froze and I couldn't go back, forward or even open the tray. The computer didn't freeze, but the installer came to a definite stop. It's very strange! :/
Here's how I setup the partitions:
#1 Primary /boot (100mb) SDA1
#2 Logical Encrypted LVM SDA5
-- #1 /(root)
The md5 check-sum of the iso was fine after I downloaded from my favorite and fastest Linux server on the Ubuntu's official mirror list: ubuntu.uib.no (the university of Bergen in Norway). I also burned the iso with verify=on, and the verify went fine too.
I did a quick search in the forums though and found a similar problem from a year back:

So I'm definitely not the only one with this problem, and it seems to be still here.
I'm re-downloading both the 32-bit and 64-bit alternate as we speak, and I'll try both again now. In the meanwhile, I hope you guys have some advices here. Thanks! :)
