From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030708 Description of problem: If installing off of a local CD-ROM, the drive is locked across when loader2 asks for the updates disk. This prevents the CD-ROM from being used as an updates disk source. Installing from a source other than the local CD-ROM, such as NFS, leaves the CD-ROM unlocked and allows the use of an updates disk on a CD-ROM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert RHEL3 Disc 1 2.At isolinux prompt, enter linux updates askmethod 3.Select CD-ROM as source for install 4.Attempt to eject CD-ROM when asked for updates disk Actual Results: CD-ROM will not eject Expected Results: CD-ROM should eject Additional info: I tried the Update 1 Disc 1 with the same result.
I believe this should be fixed in RHEL4 and beyond
