And not all distros ship hybrid cd images that their installers are happy with on virtio. Given that either one may or may not work, I think it best to honor the user's request and emulate the cd. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRRyMqAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75oS0H+gKIa82bhNHecAmiBHk2AWxR KqoJRyPffR2BKjjgVgGqLciIBW7ltNkP8Dbqg8I7E7eHtNMX1z5dNScbmMXCHkrM Hbvh/op6fvtFn0x6K+OwIkE8/Sm0AhqgIWdv2FnfR9rRRHxlz99R26Gq/qPJqZD9 Pleo6MhgjDBftGbxwJd3hlzSA5Yw5Q90SC1o2rOwi3KLDMm7zRHmMj/Tm/ScflyJ Ujo+H09tqUsm5VXsLtDsgfnUDxE42CQrczSeS0/c7+4mTPNvulwxoqisztbcY1xI O9F+JC5fz4yoDVX5rz97rN8HSHsLeCV1v6k5f9cD1TjzgqSRKRjyAIItor8Bw44=3D =3DMwf8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155403 Title: virtio cdrom detected as hard disk Status in QEMU: Invalid Status in =E2=80=9Cqemu=E2=80=9D package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Trying to install Ubuntu or Debian using virtio to emulate the cdrom fails. This appears to be due to the drive appearing to be a hard disk, rather than a cdrom, despite the media=3Dcdrom argument to qemu. I'm not sure if this is a bug in qemu, or the kernel virtio driver?
