In the Debian installer, on the "debian-10.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" written to USB flash drive works perfectly, up to the mount CDROM step. There is no way to tell the installer to use the USB drive. Since I began using USB flash media for the installation disk, I have always simply downloaded DVD-1.iso, used 'dd' to write it to the USB, booted with it, and installed Debian! I have some things I want to try, but any help would be appreciated! I

This should be reported as bug towards package "debian-cd". You could try this proposal from https://askubuntu.com/questions/671159/bootable-usb-needs-cd-rom Once I get the "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted..." message and I'm back at the main Ubuntu Server install screen, I simply plugged the USB thumbdrive out, then plugged it in again, and then after pressing the "detect CD" option, I got "The CD-ROM autodetection was successful... The installation will now continue." ... and so the installation continued. (The other proposals on that page are quite questionable.) If this helps, then i'd bet on a race condition between kernel device detection and Debian's search for the filesystem with its favorite marker file. (That's how mounting "CDROM" is supposed to work. Afaik it is well aware that "CDROM" can be a /dev/sdX rather than a /dev/srX.) Have a nice day :) Thomas

If I get time over the weekend, I may try this (including unplug/replug). (Curiosity may be hard on cats, but Humans might survive). Have a nice day :) > > Thomas > Kenneth Parker

I didn't need to unplug and plug in again. The installer looked for the
CD I assume, found the USB stick, and ran with that.

With expert install, and switching to VC2, you might try mounting the USB stick on /media/cdrom during the preliminaries. Cheers, David.
