Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
The Ubuntu Feisty alternate installer CD brings up a boot: prompt when the graphical menu fails to load, which can happen on some BIOSes. (This prompt is also available by pressing Esc on the graphical menu.) Pressing F3 for available boot methods says that you can type "server" to for a minimal system install. However, typing "server" gives this error:
Could not find kernel image: server
It then returns to a "boot:" prompt. Typing "server" works just fine on the net installer (mini.iso).
