Hello everyone,
I have been experienceing the exact same problem as described in this bug, so I have some feedback too.
My configuration is the same as described by Xnyper in comment #10, 3 partitions, and I also get the error message with /cdrom.
I have been happy to find the above workaround, typing "sudo umount -l -r -f /cdrom" just after the "who are you" panel and before confirming the install summary.
_But_ this was not going to be so easy for me... The installation goes well until the end, and proposes to reboot. But when the computer starts up, after having displayed "Grub loading", it automatically launches the memtest86 program, and does not give any alternative...
Still I do not understand how the installer can copy files from partition 1 (/cdrom, if I got it good) to partition 2, while /cdrom is unmounted...
I am currently testing with other versions of the distribution.
Nicolas.
