[CentOS-virt] New to virtualization - can't use more than one CD when installing a new VM
I've done a search through all the Centos-virt emails, but can't find the answer. I'm trying to install my first VM using Centos 5.5 as the host as well as the VM OS. It starts fine using VMM, but when it asks for the second disk of 8 CDs, the first one isn't ejected, although unmounted because I can open the tray, and won't recognize that the second CD is inserted. Was I wrong in not waiting for the ejection, or am I missing something in the host setup. I'm using xen, if that matters from the 5.5 release. Thanks for any clarity. steve campbell
