Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
when installing ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on a clean install (wipe and use entire hard disk). The installer crashes towards the end of installation. After copying all the files it switches to "configuring apt" then "scanning CD rom - to allow applications to be installed from CD" at which point it throws an error "FAILURE -- no CD drive found".
Immediately after, you get a warning dialogue saying the installer crashed. So the evidence points to an issue with the installer not being able to locate a CD drive, However this being a netbook it has no CD drive anyway.

I had exactly the same problem and I have a CD-ROM drive. (My computer is an HP DV9000 laptop.) I decided to burn a CD and install from that instead, and that worked. (I had been booting from an external hard drive.) I suppose this doesn't help your situation though, but maybe it'll be useful for people who hit this page when googling that error, as I did.
