Description Chad Groneman 2005-09-01 16:00:06 UTC 
During a CD based install on a machine with two CD / DVD drives, the install
does not look at both by default for the next CD.  

For example, my machine has a DVD drive on /dev/hdc and a CD writer on /dev/hdd.
 If I start the install off /dev/hdc and put another disk on /dev/hdd, it does
not find it by default.  I can modify the CD sources to include both /dev/hdc
and /dev/hdd and then it works fine after that.  

It should put all CD devices in the list to begin with.  I'm pretty sure 9.3
does it that way.
Comment 1 Klaus Kämpf 2005-09-01 16:03:34 UTC 
Right, this feature is in since approx. SUSE 7.0 
 
Please attach logs (/var/log/YaST2/*), /var/lib/YaST2/*, and full output of 
hwinfo.

packagemanager cant do anything about it, its done earlier
Comment 5 Klaus Kämpf 2005-09-02 07:48:39 UTC 
The bug is in CheckMedia.ycp (GetReadyCDs())  
If a cd drive is listed  in install.inf, it is considered the only one.  
The intent is to use the drive listed in install.inf as the one to use during  
1st stage (before reboot). This is only correct if the inst-sys is mounted.  
  
IMHO GetReadyCDs() should always probe.  
 
Assigning to maintainer of CheckMedia.ycp
Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2005-09-05 08:03:23 UTC 
The function GetReadyCDs() is misused here, because if CD/DVD installation
source is used it returns the drive from which the system was booted (for
automatic use of the booting drive, user is not required to ask for device name
if there is more drives in the system).

I'll fix InstURL.ycp
