Bugzilla – Bug 155302
Installation no longer uses multiple cdroms automatically
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:53:44 UTC
When I install suse on a virtual machine I normally populate it with 1 hard disk and 3 cdroms, and load into the cdroms CD1, CD2 and CD3. Normally, suse just picks the different cd's up and starts installing from them as needed, but with beta 6 it just ignores the other cdroms beside the one where CD1 was, and I have to load up each of the other cds on that device.
Michael: Should this be supported by the new packager?
Please ask someone that knows a bit of the new packager, i.e. ma@suse.de
The MediaManager supports multiple cd drives, but is is currently(?) unused by the layers above. If you want to implement it in layers above, let me know - I can provide a more flexible interface than the current one [attach(next=true) loop that is stolen from YaST I mean], that allows to specify a particular the drive in attach/release.
Would be nice. Please sync changes with Stano
Agreed with Stano, that it is not trivial to implement it in and may break too many things. Will be implemented later.

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
