Comment 15 for bug 239355

I don't know how this can be considered fixed. It is certainly still a problem in Hardy. I can't really do a RHEL4 install without waiting 10+ minutes for a timeout on an alternate console so I can get in and echo a command to change the ide settings for a device. That's a pretty hefty work around for most users.

There is a problem with the cdrom driver for kvm, that on hardy is not fixed. Upgrading to intrepid is not an option for most users.
