Comment 4 Marcus Schaefer 2009-07-23 13:15:03 UTC

Hmm, hwinfo --cdrom did not detect any CD/DVD devices. Could you check
which block devices are registered by the kernel:

   ls -l /sys/block

I put Steffen to CC

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2009-07-23 14:21:11 UTC

sdb is the USB stick, so I could transfer this information.

Comment 7 Marcus Schaefer 2009-07-23 14:26:07 UTC

there is no CD/DVD device emulated by QEMU, are you sure you called
qemu like this:

   qemu -cdrom /path/to/livecd/iso/file.iso

?

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2009-07-23 14:32:01 UTC

Why qemu? I'm using a physical CD drive for the the LiveCD!

Comment 9 Marcus Schaefer 2009-07-23 14:38:08 UTC

sorry my fault, just saw that in the log
well hwinfo did not see any CD/DVD device

just boot with kiwidebug=1 you will get a shell in that case
and try to check why there is no CD/DVD device available

I will set that to needinfo on Steffen now

Comment 10 Steffen Winterfeldt 2009-07-23 14:46:57 UTC

Stefan, please run getsysinfo and attach the tar. Which one is the
cdrom device, btw?

Comment 11 Stefan Dirsch 2009-07-23 14:55:55 UTC

Well, there is no getsysinfo command on this system. It's a USB CD/DVD drive from Medion (Model No. SD-100). "hwinfo --cdrom" doesn't return anything.

Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2009-07-23 16:29:49 UTC

Seems to be related to our Medion USB CD/DVD drive. With a different one (LG GP08) LiveCD works fine.
