Installation issues
Failure to eject CD-ROM when prompting for next disc
link to this item - Bugzilla: #569377
During a Fedora 13 Alpha CD-ROM installation, the installer may fail to properly eject the media when prompting for a subsequent installation disc. Investigation appears to show that performing a media check on the ISO media may trigger this failure later during install.
If you encounter this issue while installing from CD-ROM media, you may work around the problem using the procedure detailed below.
- When prompted to insert the next disc, change to the debug shell on tty2 by pressing <Control><Alt>F2
- Eject the disc by typing:
eject /dev/cdrom - Insert the requested installation disc number
- Prepare the disc by typing:
mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/source - Return to the installer by pressing <Control><Alt>F6
The above procedure may be repeated for each installation disc needed to complete the install.
