Thanks for the log. It shows that base installation is failing because it 
cannot find the file /cdrom/.disk/base_installable.
This file should be present on any netinst and full Debian CD or DVD.

Some questions (please put your answers below the questions).
- If you run the installation, can you check if that file is present?
  - Switch to VT2 after the scan of the CD is complete.
  - First do 'ls -l /cdrom'; you should see .disk listed.
  - Next do 'ls /cdrom/.disk/'; you should see base_installable listed.
- Exactly what image have you downloaded (please give the full URL,
  i.e. everything from "http://"; to ".iso")?
- What method have you used for downloading it (download of the iso,
  jigdo, bittorrent)?
- What software have you used to burn the image to CD/DVD?
- Have you remastered the CD/DVD in any way?

Cheers,
FJP
