Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well.

If you have time and can > still reproduce the bug, please read > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/BugReportin I downloaded the 6 isos (Fedora-10-i386-disc1.iso ... Fedora-10-i386-disc6.iso). I burned each iso onto its own CD. I initiate the install process with CD 1 (burned from Fedora-10-i386-disc1.iso). I go through the initial part of the install where it asks for partioning etc. After several screens, the install starts installing the individual packages. Since all of the packages do not fit on a single CD, the install process is supposed to eject CD 1 after it has loaded on the packages on that CD. It asks for CD #2 on the screen, but it never ejected CD 1. Therefore it is impossible for me to satisfy the machine's request for CD 2. The CDROM will not respond to the physical eject button either. There is no way to get CD 1 out of the machine. The machine will not respond to any keyboard input to get the CD 1 to eject. At this point, the only way I was able to proceed out of this mess is to hit the computer reset button. The machine normally (I've done dozens of Linux installs) ejects each CD as it completes the loading the information from each CD. The normal install process permits the user to lift the CD from the opened tray, putting in the next requested CD and then hitting the physical load button on the front of the CDROM. The install process normally proceeds to load all the information from the requested CD. We definitely should be ejecting the CD when prompting for the next one, and I'm fairly certain we did test split media installs on real computers before the release of F10. Have you done installs of F10 onto other machines that have not had this problem? If it won't eject automatically and you can't press the eject button, then it sounds like we may still have the media mounted and therefore the tray is locked. Can you switch to tty4 and tty5 to see if there are any interesting error messages relating to ejecting CDs? This bug has been triaged shouldn't have been assigned. Corrected. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 473482 *** |
