** Description changed:

  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Server onto a Shuttle XS35GT. The
  PC has no CD-ROM drive so I have to install via USB.
  
  1. Copy the files to a USB-stick via UNetbootin (WinXP, OSX) or 
Universal-USB-Installer.exe (WinXP)
  2. Boot to the USB-stick in order to install Ubuntu
  3. The installer halts at "[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM" - "Your installation 
CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. Try again to mount the CD-ROM? (Yes/No)"
  4. Selecting either option does not help further the install
  
  What I tried:
  - Manually fix truncated filenames in /pool/l/linux/*.udeb (see 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1503083 )
  - Alt+F2, mount the .iso as a virtual CD-ROM under /media/iso (no use since 
the 11.04 installer does not allow manual chosing of the CD-ROM) (see 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 )
  - Expert mode install (does not show anything special) (as suggested at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737345 )
+ - Copying the "normal" desktop live CD-ROM to the USB-stick works perfectly, 
but I need the server install
