Same problem for me on a Dell GX270 with DVD RW drive (NEC Optiarc ND-3570A). The above work-around did not work for me. I'm trying to install 8.10 from the alternate disk.

I cannot use the desktop installer because I want to configure LVM inside LUKS. I am attempting to test a reinstall of 9.04 in an LUKS-LVM system.

Here is the error I got after continuing after applying the workaround mentioned above:

[!!] Install the base system

The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1).
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.

Virtual console 4 give a debootstrap error for

It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library and try again.
