Description Chad Groneman 2006-04-12 23:21:14 UTC

Installing RC1 via CD install, after the reboot the system could not find CD2, even though it was in, until I manually mounted it and pointed the install to use the mountpoint.

Some things that may be a factor:
- I removed CD1 during the reboot, replaced it with CD2
- I had CD3 in a second drive, ready to go (2 CD drives).

It was looking with the following URL:
cd:///?devices=/dev/hdc,/dev/hdd

Will attach y2logs as soon as install completes.

If this is not due to multiple CD drives, I think the severity should go up.

Interestingly enough, some CDs didn't have this problem, others did.

Are you sure this is not a media problem? You mean several copies of CD2?

Comment 3 Chad Groneman 2006-04-13 14:19:15 UTC

When I mounted CD2, it worked.  When I say "some CDs", I mean that CD4 worked fine without me having to mount it manually.  CD3 did not work, CD5 worked after I removed it and re-inserted it.

I tried to md5sum my CD2, but I get I/O errors, so I'm not 100% sure it's correct.  But it worked great once it was mounted.

That's what the YaST2 media check module is for ;-) - what does it say about your CD2?

Check started (/dev/hdc)...
Identification: SUSE-Linux-CD-OSS-i386-10.1
Medium: CD2
Size: 647478 kB
Result: OK


I think it is a double CDROM issue...  Another guy on my team did an install, saw the issue as well until he put the CD into the drive the system started the install from.  I didn't note which drives the CDs were in during my install.

I would say, it is a duplicate of #163513, #155302 -- support of
multiple CD-ROM drives is not finished in zypp.
The first drive containing a media "wins", other are never used.
