Please confirm that the Live CD is a suitable platform for these tests. Yes, since I believe this problem only exists when using the Live CD. The CD-ROM tray remains locked when the file system is mounted. If you were using an installed system, I don't think we'd be able to reproduce it as easily. 1. Do you want this discussion offline via email, or through bugzilla? Through Bugzilla so the record stays with the report and get passed on to another owner if needed. 2. I am unfamiliar with "a serial or netconsole." Point me at some documentation. http://www.novell.com/communities/node/4753/netconsole-howto-send-kernel-boo... You can enable a serial console by monitoring the serial line on another system and booting the test system with "console=ttyS0,115200" 3. I have other computers available, so I can make a serial or network connection to the host computer. 4. I am reasonably competent, as a user, with VirtualBox. If its "passthrough" CD connection can reproduce the problem, that might give us more control. This might actually end up being really useful because then we can modify the LiveCD to dump information without having to burn a new CD for every test attempt. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
