Trying to install Ubuntu Studio 10.04 from the Alternate installation ISO image copied to Hard drive. Installation begins. After detecting Keyboard etc, I get this message
= = Detect and Mount CD-ROM ==
Your Installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. .... Try again to mount the CD-ROM?
I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Procedure%201
1. Running an existing Ubuntu 10.04. Copied these files to the present ext4 partition.
Alternate ISO image (to /)
vmlinuz, initrd.gz (from the ISO image to /studio/)
2. Edited Grub -
menuentry "INSTALL ubuntu studio(iso on /dev/sda4)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,4)'
linux /studio/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=1048576 rw
initrd /studio/initrd.gz
}
Basically copy-pasted grub entry for the existing installation and modified. ISO etc for new install is on the same drive, so I hope the hd0,4 numbers are correct. (besides, installation does begin.)
Tried with/without "root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=1048576 rw" in 'linux /stu...' line.
Still, "Your Installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted". Any help is greatly appreciated.
ps: I have 2 ubuntu installs: 9.10, 10.04. LVM and Non-lvm partitions. Couldn't burn a DVD or create usb startup disk.
