Description Jeff Peeler 2011-05-12 02:29:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Directly following writing partition changes to disk, the following dialog is displayed:
Change disc - Please insert the Fedora disc to continue. I am installing from standard DVD install media. The install does not continue if OK is selected.

How reproducible:
Always on my machine at least.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install from DVD using basic video driver.
2.Go through install prompts until it is no longer possible to proceed.
  
Actual results:
Install does not continue.

Expected results:
Asking for media that is already present should not happen and the install should continue.

Additional info:
I will provide any logs necessary, but didn't know what would be valuable. Please tell me what can be done to debug this.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2011-05-13 17:46:51 UTC
This is another example of a CD/DVD drive without an ID_FS_TYPE field that anaconda relies on to tell that there's installable media.

Comment 4 Jeff Peeler 2011-05-13 18:22:54 UTC
What should be done next then? Is there at least a work around available? If not I'll try to find another drive, but this seems like a major problem that needs addressing.

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2011-05-16 10:48:54 UTC
I would need the output of:

# /lib/udev/cdrom_id --debug /dev/sr0

Output of /lib/udev/cdrom_id --debug /dev/sr0

Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2011-05-16 16:03:47 UTC
Is this the output from within the installer with the medium inserted?

Is this on the anaconda console (alt-f2 or so) or from a already running system?

I assumed you wanted output from the anaconda console. If it is useful I can provide output from a normal F14 install.

Yes, I wanted output from the anaconda console. Perfect.

So it seems cdrom_id works. Your drive might be one of these drives, which has to be polled several times, until the medium shows up.
In dracut I do this in my main loop. Not sure, if anaconda polls cdrom drives.

Perhaps important to note is that the DVD is actually ejected (I'm sorry for not mentioning this earlier). I did try putting the DVD back in and selecting OK without success. Also, I did perform the initial media check and it was successful.

Comment 13 Jeff Peeler 2011-05-31 15:28:40 UTC
It appears that whatever oddness I was experiencing with the beta has been fixed in the final release.
