Bug Description

From the Jenkins logs. Alternate ISOs are failing to install since Sept 10th. Installation proceeds normally, apt-cdrom is hit with a GP and, a few moments later apt-get also dies with a GP. Eventually installation fails due to no kernels found.

An excerpt from the syslog follows:
