While installing the base System from the ubuntu-8.10-rc-alternate-amd64.iso the installer says

"Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ -Release Candidate amd64 (20081022)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter."

But the requested disc is (presumably) already in the drive! Pressing <Contune> reverts to <Go Back> (Media Change), and vice versa. The OP describes it as an endless loop, and there is indeed no way other way to proceed with the installation.

My hardware: an older desktop computer with AMD Opteron 165 processor, a SATA2 HD and an ATAPI (IDE) CD/DVD writer, on which I have successfully installed various versions of Ubuntu (starting with Dapper) and Debian (starting with Sarge), always using/preferring the Debian installer to do so.
