Then, it is impossible to mount again the CD-ROM while the postinst stage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 6 - Anaconda 11 How reproducible: Making a custom installer and try to access the CD-ROM from a shell while the installation Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a custom installer using buildinstall from anaconda-runtime package. 2. Burn an iso image 3. Try to install the system 4 .When anaconda is started (after the CD-ROM detection), open a shell and list the /tmp directory Actual results: The /tmp/cdrom device is not present. Expected results: The /tmp/cdrom should be already present. Additional info: N/A
It's mountable, but you have to find and mount the actual device node. This is intentional
(In reply to comment #1) > It's mountable, but you have to find and mount the actual device n Do you mean by looking in the /proc filesystem ? (That's the way I did) Anyway, I think that this case should be documented in the official anaconda documentation. On all documentations I found, people suppose that the device node is still available
