md5sum: /dev/sr0: Input/output error

Download the iso file to your disk and point kvm there.

It's the easiest to do; your problem is not really kvm-specific.


I'll try that but it seems as though the process being owned by root is preventing the access to the cdrom. So isn't that kvm? Does libvirt know this? I mean never once have we been able to use the cdrom from the VM. Not just for this problem. This seems to be some kind of access problem.
