[Bug 1650093] Re: GusetVM can't detect and mount CDROM with virt-install

[Gabor Locsei]

I encountered the same problem when I used 'virtio' for the cdrom. Changing it to 'ide' solved the problem for me. I used an XML file and virsh, I guess it will be something like with virt-install, in the case of the reporter:
--disk bus=ide,device=cdrom,path=/root/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso

Title:
  GusetVM can't detect and mount CDROM with virt-install

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I had an issue when installing ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso with
  virt-install.

  [My commands to reproduce the issue]
  root at armtest:~# apt install qemu-kvm qemu-efi libvirt-bin virt-manager
  root at armtest:~# systemctl start libvirtd
  root at armtest:~# wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.1/release/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso
  root at armtest:~# virt-install --boot uefi --virt-type=kvm --name ubuntu160402 --ram 4096 --cpu 2 --cdrom=/root/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-arm64.iso --disk path=/root/ubuntu1604arm.img,size=20

  after few steps, The installer says at "[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM"
  - "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means
  that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try
  again. Retry mounting the CD-ROM? <Yes> <No>".
