Binary package hint: debian-installer

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a new HP Envy 15 laptop, which has no internal CD drive, but does have a USB CD drive

Any CD (9.04, 10.04alpha2, 10.04beta2) I have tried results in "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system". Have also tried putting the 10.04beta2 image on a USB key, with the same results. Am guessing that its for some reason unable to find devices plugged into USB, possibly related to USB 3.0 things?

Also tried netboot install of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz , but it seems to be unable to bring up the network after booting into the curses based installer frontend. Am guessing need an updated driver for the network card somehow?

typing out some USB/netowrk related lspci lines from the netboot cmdline from another machine, let me know if more specific information would be useful -- somewhat hard to get detailed info due to various issues so far, though...:
