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. After you mount another partition or an ISO to /cdrom, get to the installer menu and choose "load installer components from cd". Install the machinery for detecting and loading ISOs. Then unmount your /cdrom (and whatever other partition you may have mounted) and let the installer detect and mount the ISO. The release codename will be correctly determined and you will be able to install the base system.

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 failed to determine continue through the install. I enabled LVM 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.
