I have to install SLES9.3 distributive which is of 9 CDs as HVM domU.
Having their ISO images ready, I hardly found a document describing the exact
procedure of changing virtual CDs when installing the OS:
http://www.novell.com/support/dynamickc.do?externalId=3172795&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=3172795
It really helps. But a strange effect of not recognizing every CD from the first
time is noticed. The installation kernel says (in its Ctrl-Alt-F4 window, i.e.
"dmesg" or kernel log):
kernel: cdrom: open failed.
last message repeated 17 times
Accordingly I had to click OK in the Linux installation menu several times
before a "CD" could be read. Imagine thist 9 CDs where asked to be
changed some 30 (! I do not know why so much) times and every time I had to
click OK from 1 to 10 times :((
Is it something wrong in the environment which makes CD-images not to be read
from the first time?
If not, which is the proper, XEN-approved procedure of changing CD iso images?
Environment: XEN3.1, SUN X4600, SLES9.3-64bit as dom0
