I can test the patch to make sure it doesn't break anything, but I was not able to reproduce the issue with debian-installer daily images using libvirt+qemu+kvm; it would be surprising if virtualbox were different. I suspect there may be something different in the debian-edu installer images. There is also the very real possibility that something changed in the debian-installer mounting of the cdrom again. The patch effectively reverts the fix that corrected a nearly identical problem earlier; I worry the patch would fix one problem only to reintroduce a different variation of the same problem: https://bugs.debian.org/758500 In any case, ltsp-client-builder needs to be more resilient to a variety of media mount locations and states... thus bumping the severity. live well, vagrant
