Public bug reported: The CD device does not seem to be recognized when trying to install gutsy-alternate-i386.iso within qemu. I have tested this on two machines (qemu running on a macbook C2D and Intel P4 2.8GHz). The install CD *will* work if installed on the latter Intel P4 2.8GHz outside of virtualization however. I am using the following command:
"qemu -hda gutsy.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -boot d" qemu will load and I can navigate my way through the language selection but at cdrom hardware probing it can not find the device. It asks if I would like to load a module from a driver floppy or manually select one from a list. I have tried manually selecting each option from the list with no success. I am using the latest daily build as of June 13, 2007 from cdimage.ubuntu.com. This bug was reported using the Intel P4 machine installed from said latest build using a standard, non-virtualized installation. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gutsy install cd (alternate) will not detect cdrom within qemu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
