Well I rebuilt the system today with 9.1 and in doing the updates it still tried to
go to the cdrom. I put a dummy cd in the drive and it went along happily. Since
I just did a complete update to 9.1, I will see how it acts tomorrow (the system
is at work). Really do not want to disable supermount as this system will
be given to an engineer and ............


Christmas and birthdays are forbidden!

I have installed 9.0 on a machine with 1G of memory so of course it
uses the enterprise kernel. When I go to get updates it tries to access
the cdrom drive and hangs for a long time. If I put a cd in the drive
the update goes without problems. Does anybody know why this is happening and other than leaving a
cd in the drive, is there a solution?


You could disable supermount. "supermount -i disable".

I believe it's because urpmi is trying to read the cdrom because you have
sources defined (your install CDs) that use it. If you disable supermount,
you shouldn't have this problem (I religiously disable supermount).


Vincent, Micheal,

I remember this bug. And Vincent If I remember right you fixed it
with the 1st update to urpmi after 9.0 came out. (At least it worked on
the 9.0 I had to install last week.) So the problem should have cleared
up after first (and full) update


Could be.  That was a long time ago tho, and I don't remember...  been kinda
frazzled today anyways with this openssl thing.

Hmmm... the only urpmi update for 9.0 I can see (well, the earliest) was
christmas eve last year, and it doesn't mention this.  You're not thinking
of 9.1 are you?

Man... I'm such a loser. working on christmas eve. =)



Maybe I am... it all runs together..... btw your not supposed to work on
Christmas eve?
