I was about to submit this bug as well, but I will just add a "me too" instead. Had the same problem trying to install a RHL 7.3 (don't ask, I needed something from that system), after the installer finishes with CD1 and asks for CD2, there is no way I can insert the new CD and RHL 7.3's anaconda to recognize it. Had to do a minimum-minimum install to use only 1 CD. btw, vfiend, can you please post the lines you had to add to the XML file? Thanks! I can't remember exactly what I added, I created a new virtual machine with the same settings, then looked at the new file and saw the section it automatically created for the disc. I then copy-pasted the section from the new file into the old file and deleted the new virtual machine, after you install you can then remove the cd image/drive from the GUI. Note: I think the services for qemu/virt manager need to be restarted after this or possibly stopped before you do it, I'm not sure. This is just a quick dirty work around I stumbled through with trial and error. I think the patch to this bug was applied 5 days ago. http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel I am not sure. Maybe the developer have more information about it. If it's the correct one I guess probably some more time before it comes to fedora7-updates. Using changeset 205 65ea24a40b29 from http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel allowed me to install Win XP from a iso file. $ hg clone http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel $ cd virtinst--devel/ $ sudo ./virt-install ... (answer questions) So this does appear to be solved with with the current version of virtinst. The patch that Deependra mentions (change 202) will not easily apply to the version 103 that is in redhat since it depends on other changes made since 103 was released. We will be updating to the new upstream version of python-virtinst in the near future, since as you note, backporting this is not easy..... Upstream virt-manager now also has the ability to add & remove CDROM devices which will make Windows installs easier. This will appear in next Fedora update. change QA contact virt-manager-0.5.3-1.fc7, gtk-vnc-0.3.2-1.fc7, python-virtinst-0.300.2-1.fc7, virt-viewer-0.0.2-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update virt-manager gtk-vnc python-virtinst virt-viewer' virt-manager-0.5.3-1.fc7, gtk-vnc-0.3.2-1.fc7, python-virtinst-0.300.2-1.fc7, virt-viewer-0.0.2-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I think this persists. I have these versions installed below. During the install I am asked for D:\i386\asms which is right there on the CD where the install done from, but it just keeps asking for it, so I assume this is the same problem. virt-manager.i386 0.5.3-1.fc7 installed virt-viewer.i386 0.0.2-1.fc7 installed gtk-vnc.i386 0.3.2-1.fc7 installed python-virtinst.noarch 0.300.2-2.fc7 installed |
