Fix is now upstream, though it's not the same patch in RHEL5.

inclusion.

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2010-05-28 16:25:45 UTC

It's probably better if someone actually involved with the KVM RHEL process takes this bug, it should be a trivial backport anyways.

Reassigning to Kevin, since I know he's familiar with the block/ code where this change lives.

1.Creatd connection using QEMU as the hypervisor.
2.Create guest winxp installed from CDROM.
3.After finish installation,eject CD, and the vm installed successfully.
4.Shutdown guest.
5.Run the guest.

Actual Results:
he guest can be started successfully without cdrom inserted.

The bug has already been fixed.
