In fact, it already should be. What *is* it pointing to? I have the same problem with fedora test3 I have 3 cd drives : - hda ( CD-RW with scsi emulation ) - hdc - hdd Whenever I clicked on the "Instal..." button an error dialog popped up saying: The autorun program cannot(*) be found on the cd. I had fedora test3 cd2 in hdc and cd2 in hdd, nothing in hda. * - shouldn't that be "can not", with a space in between ? I had cd3 in hdd , not another copy of cd2 :-) Also occurs with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, during the installation process. However, it's OK when firstboot is run after RHEL 3 is installed. This is handled better now |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030930 Debian/1.4-5 Description of problem: firsttime is not able to install software from Additional CD's. Nor from Redhat Installation discs, nor from Documentation discs. Why? Because it's trying to mount /dev/cdrom, which is not properly set up to mount. The IDE CD-ROM is using the scsi-ide module, so what you really want to do is mount /dev/scd0. This should help: --- firstboot-1.2.1/src/modules/additional_cds.py 2003-09-22 13:42:49.000000000 -0500 +++ firstboot-1.2.1/src/modules/additional_cds.py.new 2003-10-02 12:21:52.000000000 -0500 @@ -95,17 +95,21 @@ diskutil.mount('/dev/cdrom', '/mnt/cdrom', fstype="iso9660", readOnly = 1) mountFlag = 1 except: - dlg = gtk.MessageDialog(None, 0, gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_NONE, + try: + diskutil.mount('/dev/scd0', '/mnt/cdrom', fstype="iso9660", readOnly = 1) + mountFlag = 1 + except: + dlg = gtk.MessageDialog(None, 0, gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_NONE, (_("A CD-ROM has not been detected.

Install Severn Beta 1 2. Boot sucker up 3. Try to install something thru 'Additional CDs' Actual Results: Constantly bitches about not being able to recognize CD. Actually, it's not able to mount the CD. Expected Results: Mount should occur, autorun should be found, things should work :-) Additional info: I don't know where else a CDROM could potentially be mounted to. Is there a firewire CD, for example? USB? Need a list of common mountpoints, and cycle through the list... You might even argue that /dev/cdrom should be a softlink to /dev/scd0.
