Comment 5 for bug 292493

I encountered the same problem as Riobard. I booted from a USB drive and tried to install, but /cdrom was mounted (same error message as above). I am trying to install to /dev/sdb (which is a new hard disk) but Ubuntu mounts it to /cdrom. I tried but was unable to sudo umount /cdrom before installing (I tried using lsof and fuser to see if there were open files). I ran ubiquity -d but the install did not succeed.

The result is that I am unable to install ubuntu on this machine.

I have attached /var/log/syslog and will send the other requested log files.
