Bug#701772: iso-scan: Loads wrong iso from usb drive
Package: iso-scan
Version: 1.43
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I have a multi-boot usb drive that I keep multiple linux iso's on.
I set up the debian installer on my drive using the kernel and initrd from
here: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-
amd64/current/images/hd-media/
And the netinstall image from here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-
rc1-amd64-netinst.iso
After booting and answering the first questions, the installer reported that no
suitable kernel modules were found on the iso image.
After checking the syslog, I can see that iso-scan selects my Ubuntu 10.04
amd64 iso rather than the Debian testing amd64 iso.
If I rename the file to 'ubuntu-10.04.4-alternate-amd64.bak' the the installer
works properly.
Here is a section from the syslog:
