Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Hmm, I can't reproduce. Running as root or a regular user? Aren't using a remote connection, correct? Are you inserting the cdrom after starting virt-manager? If so does restarting the app help? Does unmounting the CDROM and restarting virt-manager make any difference? Please provide the output of virt-manager --debug when reproducing the issue
Seems that I also cannot reproduce this anymore. virt-manager is still in same version. Not sure what if anything in my setup has changed. Tried as root and non-root. Closing as notabug.
