Comment 65 for bug 148466

I found a rather simple work around for Ubuntu 9.10 Server on my PowerEdge 2450.

1. Burn Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop to a cd
2. Download Ubuntu 9.10 Server and save the iso where you will be able to access it from within a live session
3. Boot your regular computer to an Ubuntu Desktop live session and create a USB boot disk with the iso of Ubuntu Server (Use the "Make a USB Startup Disk" tool)
4. Burn Ubuntu 9.10 Server to a cd
5. Plug your newly created USB boot disk into to the server
6. Boot the server with the Ubuntu Server cd
7. Press F6 to add "noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" to the beginning of the Install Ubuntu Server boot command
8. Install

This ran the installation off the usb drive instead of the cd and in avoided all the errors.
