allow cdrom creation in rescue mode
I think a slightly better way of doing this patch would be to call isys.flushDriveDict in rescue.py immediately before makeDriveDeviceNodes. That would mean less random device probing/opening/closing in the regular install case. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. This should be fixed in anaconda-10.1.1.92-1. Chris, I've tried this with Xen FV guest and the only device nodes in rescue mode are /dev/hda* where /dev/hda is the hard drive of the system. No sign of /dev/hdc which is supposed to be the CDROM drive. This was with anaconda-10.1.1.96-1. Is it supposed to work under Xen or I need physical machine to test it? Tested with RHEL4-U8-re20090416.0-x86_64-AS (anaconda-10.1.1.103-1) on physical machine and node for CDROM drive is still missing in /dev directory. Having examined the code again, it looks like I should have applied the original patch instead of doing one up myself. I'll back out what I did, apply the first patch, and push. This will be fixed in anaconda-10.1.1.104-1. moving to 4.9 since RC already built (In reply to comment #14) > moving to 4.9 since RC already built Can we remove this bug from the advisory since moved to 4.9? anaconda is not an approved component for RHEL 4.9 since we are not generating new media, this bug should not be in MODIFIED because there is no new anaconda available. |
