I've merged Tormod's patch (with a small change to debian/changelog), and uploaded it. It'll be usable after the first debian-installer upload after beta. |

Evan, could you arrange to have usb-creator pass cdrom-detect/try-usb=true for alternate CDs? (It's harmless for desktop CDs, in case it's hard for usb-creator to tell the difference.) That should be the last piece of this bug. |

As discussed on #ubuntu-installer:
17:29:46 < evand> hrm, cdrom-detect/ask-usb fails to account for the situation where you have a CD in the drive as well
*snip*
17:34:13 < evand> Right now I have an Ubuntu image on USB stick plugged in and a Windows drivers CD inserted into the computer.
17:34:44 < evand> It first mounts the CD, then goes into the try-usb block and mounts the usb disk over top of that.
17:35:38 < evand> If I stick a if [ "$mounted" = "1" ]; then break; fi before try-usb it goes with the Windows CD, which obviously fails.
17:36:29 < cjwatson> oh, hmm
17:36:33 < evand> I suspect in this scenario, it should try to mount, then check to make sure we're dealing with an Ubuntu image, if not go to the next device, if there are no devices left, fail
17:37:36 < cjwatson> I see what you mean, that's badly wrong |

intel,
I'm not sure why you reopened the usb-creator task. The bug is clearly fixed there, given the reports here and elsewhere. However, if using USB creator to create an alternate USB disk is not working for you, please file a new bug.
If you take issue with the functionality being disabled by default on the alternate CD, please re-read Colin's comment and propose a solution that accounts for the problems he mentions:

description |
I wrote a script to copy all the files from Hardy Heron (08.04) Live CD and Alternate CD to a USB flash drive. The Live CD works flawlessly.
However, the Alternate CD fails to mount the "cdrom". This is because cdrom-detect.postinst does not try to look for disk partitions.
By adding `list-devices partition` in the list of devices to probe, and by adding an additional mount command for vfat, I managed to get the Alternate CD working from a USB flash drive.
Attached, a patch to fix the issue. Please consider introducing this fix soon and release a new Alternate CD with it. I plan to make my script available and it would be nice to have a proper working Alternate CD for USB flash drives. Users should not have to mess with initrd to get this working.
P.S.: If you have a suggestion about a good place to make this script public, please write to me in an email.
Also, my solution partially resolves:

I have USB images of 1G which can be `dd` to a USB flash drive.
[ keywords: alternate cd usb flash key stick pen pendrive drive ] |
We have had support for USB devices that contain the contents of an ISO being used as installation media for the alternate CD since Intrepid. Recently it has come to my attention that server users want this feature for servers that do not have a CDROM drive and are not installed using PXE.
I've uploaded a new debian-installer-utils and cdrom-detect to hardy-proposed which will enable the following test case.
TEST CASE:
1. Put the contents of an Ubuntu 8.04.4 image on a USB disk using usb-creator. Other tools can be used to do this, but you need to make sure you add 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to the kernel command line.
2. Boot the USB disk and proceed with the installation. It should progress without complaining that it cannot find the installation media.
