Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Technologov (technologov) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: CDROM eject doesn't work via Qemu Monitor Initial Comment: When ejecting CD/DVD via Qemu monitor, then inserting another CD, the first CD is always shown, instead of the newly inserted one, unless I eject the CD from the guest. This bug prevents setup of Windows XP Tablet Edition, because this OS requires 2 CDs to install, and since this is Windows there are no workarounds. Guest: any Windows, especially Windows XP Tablet Edition. Host: Fedora7, 64-bit, Intel CPU, KVM-45. Other KVM versions and -no-kvm didn't help. -Alexey Technologov. 7.oct.2007. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-12-02 11:30 Message: Works fine here under Fedora 14: A change like this was detected instantly: (qemu) eject drive-ide0-1-0 (qemu) change drive-ide0-1-0 en_winxp_sp1a_tablet_pc_cd1.iso Closing Jes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Wilco (paranoidt) Date: 2008-03-07 17:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=902376 Originator: NO It works for me (with some quirks) if I first eject the old CD: eject ide1-cd0 Then change to the new one: change ide1-cd0 /path/to/newiso.iso This does not always seem to work. Sometimes you have to access your CDROM (from the installation) so windows finds no cd. Then repeat these steps. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Technologov (technologov) Date: 2007-10-12 16:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1839746 Originator: YES chenghuan_jia: I have tried that too, with the exception that I used ISO instead of real CD-ROM. -Technologov ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neo Jia (chenghuan_jia) Date: 2007-10-12 07:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=446034 Originator: NO Can you try "change cdrom /dev/scd0" after you insert the 2nd disc?
