Comment 8 for bug 270461

There might be a commonality.. I ran into this bug 4 times in a row, but once I switched my CD-ROM drive for an old no-name spare I had lying around, the install went smoothly. The original drive when I ran into the bug was an NEC ND-3550A -- same as Stormelf's, similar to Keyser's, and the same brand as Alastair's. It's also worth noting that the CD-ROM is the only IDE device in my computer; the internal hard drives are both SATA. And I used the Alternate CD so that I could enable disk encryption.
