Hi,
Why are both of you using the 2 DVD set for installs?
This isn't a trick question, I really want to know.
Thanks
Troy

This happened to me last night as well. Exact same problem, the machine
would not let it go. I think the install is not un-mounting the first
DVD when it asks for the second one, this prevents it from opening.
Luckily, I was using a USB dvd drive and just pulled the power to force
an unmount.

*Subject:* SL-6.1 two DVD upgrade problem
Hi,
I burned the 2 DVDs with everything, and then started to upgrade my
SL-6.0 (with testing of the DVDs).
When the upgrade of the first DVD was finished, I was asked for the
second DVD. But the drive remained closed,
and the first disk kept on spinning.
Finding no decent way to insert the second disk, I eventually
mechanically forced the drive to open (with a
paperclip in the tiny door hole). The sound of the spinning disk was so
disturbing, that I pulled the power
plug.
As my SL-6.0 was just a toy version (still using a a RHEL6 trial),
nothing was lost, and with a re-check of the
quality of the first DVD, I now did a new install. Now the drive door
did open when the first DVD was finished,
and I could finish the installation without problems.
I will not use the 2 DVD upgrade anymore.
Just wondering if other people also experienced this problem.
(Apart from this, I am a happy SL user for many years.)
Regards,
Fons Laan.
