How to prevent ubuntu installation from ejecting cd-rom?
772
I'm installing ubuntu server 10.04 over kvm switch. I have no physical access to the server. The server has ubuntu installation cd inserted. How to prevent setup from ejecting it after completion?
The culprit ejecting your CD is probably /etc/init.d/casper (look for the line with eject on it).
Modify your casper script not to do that and the CD should remain in the drive.
(You will need to remastersys or cut a new boot CD some other way in order to make this change permanent...)
Closing the rack-door should probably be enough. The tray will meet resistance while not fully open and should close again. Poor server that has no iLo or RAC capable of inserting iso-images, though.
