Bug#667701: cdrom-detect: Need a simple retry or delay to mount USB flash drives
Package: cdrom-detect
Version: 1.38
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
*** Please type your report below this line ***
We install Debian from USB flash drive. After loading of the Linux
kernel we immediately get an error saying no CD-ROM could be found. When
we abort the CD-ROM detection, go back to the Debian Installer menu and
try again it works without any problem.
The syslog shows that cdrom-detect finishes before the USB flash drive
is initialized by the kernel:
