Bugzilla – Bug 165738
CD installation can't find CD unless mounted by hand
Last modified: 2006-04-24 15:44:32 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.
Created attachment 78123 [details] y2logs of install 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?
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.

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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 155302 ***
