Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I created a USB startup disk and booted from it successfully. Then I clicked the "Install" icon to install Ubuntu 8.10. Everything went well: choose a locale, then choose a disk partition. Then a dialog box popped up and said:
"The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted:
/cdrom
Please close any applications using these mount points.
Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?
[Go Back] [Continue]"
Click either button will bring me back to the "Prepare disk space" step 4/7 stage, and then click Forward will pop up the same dialog box.
I guess the installer needs to modify the partition tables but since /cdrom is mounted by the USB startup disk, it fails to proceed. How do I solve this?

Can you please run the installer again in debug mode (ubiquity -d from a terminal window) and attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, and /var/log/ installer/ debug following the instructions in http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingUb iquity/ AttachingLogs
Thanks
