> It is *not* possible anymore to use a local ubuntu-server-12.04.iso file for off-line installation of VM on XCP 1.5 (xen-server 6).
> The created VM boots first correctly from the iso file and allows keyboard settings etc *but* somewhere later it breakes with the following error message:

> Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can instert it and try again.

> This ubuntu-server 12.04 image can be installed on bare metal (HP DL385g7) without any troubles.
> Also ubuntu sever 11.10 iso image can be successfully installed as VM from a local iso file on XCP 1.5.
