It happens when the user is trying to perform an installation without a working cdrom. In my case, I mounted another partition containing the xubuntu iso, and then used the loop device to mount that iso as /cdrom Mounting /cdrom one's self appears to omit some critical step; apparently the release codename is decided when the cdrom is mounted by the installer. Installation hits a brick wall at the "Install Base System" step because of the fatal "Failed to determine codename for the release" error. ljp37 (finite-automaton) wrote on 2007-07-01: #3 I think I've found a workaround for this.

I made a bootable USB using Universal USB. Booted off the USB and selected "Graphical Install", I had an issue at the beginning with the install prompting that it cannot find the data in the CDROM, I pulled the USB and waited 30 seconds, plugged it in waited 30 seconds then plugged it in and it allowed me to continue through the install. I enabled LVM failed to determine and went through that whole process once it was done it went to the next step which is "Install the system" at this point I get the error Debootstrap Error Failed to determine the codename for the release At this point I cannot go further in the installation. I went back to the "Debian installer menu" and executed a shell. With that shell I tried to mount the USB to /cdrom using "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom" which I found on a Debian forum. I receive the following error "mounting /dev/sdb1 on /cdrom failed: no such file or directory" I then try to mkdir CDROM, but it states it already exists. sdb1 is my USB according to "mount" I am not sure what to do at this point. Any advice would be great. Thanks. linux debian mount kali-linux share|improve this question asked Jan 25 at 3:15 tmi 1114 add a comment| active oldest votes You must log in to answer this question.
