Did you mount your CD drive?
It seems that it is not mounted ... check this post and try few of those advice to see if it helps:

If it does not work, please post output of these commands:
mount
cat /etc/fstab

Good luck.

Insert the CD and try browsing to /media/cdrom1 ...

Hi,
I found another advice, read this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282913
...especially pay attention to the advice with adding "noapic" or "noapic acpi=off" parameter to menu.lst
Keep us informed ...

Can you help with this problem?
