This bug affects Ubuntu 9.10 as well.

Followed the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImageLoadedOnHardDrive

I have three partitions set up:

/dev/sda1 (ext3) installer's partition
/dev/sda2 (ext3) empty partition, I intend this to be / after the install
/dev/sda3 (swap) swap partition

I get the same error:

------------------------
The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables,
but cannot do so because partitions on the following
mount points could not be unmounted:

/cdrom

Please close any applications using these mount points.

Would you like the installer to try to unmount these partitions again?
-----------------------

whether I select "go back" or "continue", it doesn't seem to matter. It takes me back to the partitioning page, where I am allowed to make changes, but regardless of what those changes are when I continue the install the same error pops up.
