I'm having issues installing ubuntu server on an old laptop. I'm installing it from a usb ssd (one partition - fat32).



I get to the stage where it tries to mount the cd-rom but it can't be mounted. I usually know how to fix this but I can't seem to fix it this time, this is usually how I fix it:



  • Switch USB

  • Alt + F2

  • mkdir /media/usb

  • mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usb : OK

  • mount -t iso9660 /media/usb/iso.iso /cdrom -o ro, loop : OK

  • Alt + F1

  • Retry

This has no effect and the iso even gets unmounted if I retry...



There is no hdd in the system as I'm just trying to get the installer to work.



Any ideas on how to fix this?



Thanks!
