Bug#740073: netinst hangs on scanning CD-ROM [was: Message with no Package: tag cannot be processed! (Installation report)]

[Siarhei Akhramenia <dbz.gml@gmail.com>]

Nope, still no effect.

Still 'Searching the CD-ROM...' instead of connecting to mirrors on the 'Configuring mirrors' installation step.

There is no chance now to somehow install 'testing' branch. Installation DVD for 'testing' behaves the same way.

I suspect this might be due to:
  http://bugs.debian.org/739989

You may want to use this instead in the meanwhile:
  http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/20140207-00:17/
  http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/

(Probably the netboot/gtk/mini.iso one.)

Since the relevant commit was reverted in the debian-installer-utils
upload today, next daily d-i builds should work better. Next cdimage
builds, picking fixed daily d-i builds, should also work better.

Mraw,
