Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
I am running Hardy with all the update, as well as the proposed update to virt-manager: 0.5.3-0ubuntu10. I have successfully installed and am running a Windows XP virtual machine. The virtual machine currently has a disk image as the only hard drive and an .iso of the windows XP installation CD as the only CD. I now want to use a different CD, but I am having problems. When I try to add another CD device from the "Virtual Machine Details" window, I get the following error:
Unable to complete install: 'There are no more available virtual disk device nodes'
When I try to "disconnect" the current CD (which presumably allows me to choose a different ISO to attach?), I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/
self.
File "/usr/share/
self.
File "/usr/share/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainAtta
libvirtError: virDomainAttach
When I eject the existing Windows XP CD from inside the virtual machine, this works, but there is no way to "insert" a new CD.
The only solution that I have found is to shutoff the virtual machine, delete the existing IDE CD and re-add the IDE CD, but now pointing to the new .iso file. This works, but is not very practical.
I'm experiencing the same issue except that I am unable to install Windows XP at all as a result of this bug. My version of Windows XP is an upgrade which requires the user to insert an older Windows CD (e.g. Windows 2000) during the install process. I cannot figure out a way around this.
