Bug#846632: live-wrapper: cdrom not detected when installing from thumb drive
Package: live-wrapper
Version: 0.5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when installing from a thumb drive, d-i fails to detect the "cdrom".
Workaround is to select No for external media, manually set the driver to none,
and set /dev/sda1 as the cdrom device. Installation then proceeds.
This test was conducted with QEMU "-hda" as a model of how a bootable thumb
drive is presented.
The problematic behaviour might be a regression in d-i on unstable or caused by
a peculiarity of the live-wrapper ISO. The workaround was not required for the
previous generation of live technology.
Live ISO built with:
lwr --memtest -d unstable
Tested with:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -hda live.iso
Kind regards,
Ben.
