Bug Description

  I tried installing Kubuntu 11.10 with the alternate install CD.

 Everything went well at first including detecting and partitioning the hard disks.
 After that I received the following error message:

    No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.

  I continued without the kernel but later, during the installation of the base system, another error message appeared and that step failed too.
  I tried going back several times, but nothing changed.
  Basically I couldn't install Kubuntu 11.10 from the alternate CD.

  I saved the install logs. Here is the syslog, maybe it could be used to debug the problem.

  Let me know if you want some of the others.

   There is no individual package concerned since this bug concerns the Ubuntu installer, specifically the alternate CD installer.
