Title:
  D-I prompts for CD-ROM drivers when preseeding from USB drive

Status in “cdrom-detect” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “cdrom-detect” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released
Status in “cdrom-detect” source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  TEST CASE: When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from a USB drive (alternate CD install created with usb-creator-gtk) with the Language and Keyboard values preseeded and a preseed/file also on the disk the installation gets to a point where it tries to mount the CD and fails.
  D-I prompts for additional drivers after not detecting the CD drive, but if you run detect again it correctly mounts the drive and the automated installation continues as expected.

  This seems like a race condition, as the USB drive has not settled
  when D-I tries to mount it.

  The expected behavior is that the installation continues as normal
  waiting for the drive to settle before mounting it.

  This bug is affecting an important customer, hence the request for a
  stable update.  It has been addressed in the development branch in
  cdrom-detect 1.32ubuntu5.  Patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  core-dev/cdrom-detect/ubuntu/revision/461.

  This change really just tries harder, so I see little potential for
  regression aside from increased delays on failures.
