Description Greg Nichols 2006-11-14 20:16:50 UTC
Only RHEL5 DVD-iso-file is accepted as the installation
media for the guest OS. Other
install media types, such as CD-iso-files,DVD disk,CD disks
should  be accepted.

Comment 1 YangKun 2006-11-20 07:01:35 UTC
there are 2 kinds of install media are accepted now(DVD iso image or RHEL5
install file tree), if your install media is CD disks or CD-iso-image-file, you
can make the RHEL5 install file tree like this:
       - for CD-iso-image-file :
           # mkdir /tmp/RHEL5-server-tree-i386
           # mount -o loop RHEL5-Server...-i386-disc1.iso /mnt
           # cp -ax /mnt/* /tmp/RHEL5-server-tree-i386/
           # umount /mnt
           # mount -o loop RHEL5-Server...-i386-disc2.iso /mnt
           # ....
           copy all iso's file to "/tmp/RHEL5-server-tree-i386/" and specify
this dir to virt test when it ask for install media's dir
       - for CD disks, the steps are similar. just make a RHEL5 install file
tree yourself.

I think it's enough to accept these two kinds of install media. If user's
install media is CD/DVD disks or CD-iso-image files, it's very easy to create a
install tree , just follow the above steps. We can ask user to prepare this for
virt test.
