Description Gene Czarcinski 2000-08-26 12:45:43 UTC

I installed a basic gnome/kde rhl 6.2 on a system.  I then attempted to
upgrade to rc2.  Everything was fine until the installer attempted to eject
disc1 -- this failed.  After I manually ejected disc1, disc2 was not
accepted (would not mount).

This is most likely particular to your CDROM drive - we have done alot of
testing and have not seen this
problem occur.

Can your drive eject a CDROM when running Linux (try the eject command)?

Comment 2 Gene Czarcinski 2000-08-30 05:59:57 UTC

Yes, it ejects fine.

I am tempted to just close this as something of an anomoly but it did happen and
I believe reporting errors or anomolies is helpful in the long run.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-08-30 16:38:53 UTC

I agree these things happen and it wouldn't hurt to have code which handles
exceptions like this more cleanly.  Will have to look into this when we have
time.
