I have the same problem on my HP Omnibook 4100 using the netinst-cd of the first release candidate of sarge: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso (Sorry, I don't know the md5-code, I only have the cd not the iso-file). Here is a the error-message in the syslog: Oct 1 15:32:37 cdrom-retriever: info: Retrieving package list. Oct 1 15:32:37 anna[4211]: grep: Oct 1 15:32:37 anna[4211]: /cdrom/dists//Release Oct 1 15:32:37 anna[4211]: : No such file or directory The full syslog and messages are attached. It may be interesting to point out that the cdrom device of the my laptop is a Toshiba CDROM XM 1802B, which (I guess) looks like the Toshiba XM-1702B, that is build in the Latitude CPi A400XT. A work-around that worked for me was to manually unmount the cdrom device in the following manner: When the error-message of the debian-install system pops up saying that it can not find certain files, and asks if it should retry or cancel, choose cancel. Then go to a virtual console (crtl-alt-F2) and unmount the cdrom (umount /cdrom). Go back to the install system (ctrl-alt-F1) and choose to detect and mount the cdrom-device. After that the install-procedure continues as nothing has happened. I hope this work-around is helpful, although I understand does not really solve the problem.
