"phantom" cdrom in w2000

[m.ardito]

Hi, i'm struggling to install a w2000 server on kvm
i configured it with a single hard disk and no cd but, i do not know why, in the "device manager" i see a cd-rom that actually isn't there (it is identified as QUEMU QUEU DVD-ROM). Here's the config.

#cat /etc/qemu-server/103.conf
name: w2ktest
ostype: w2k
memory: 1024
vlan10: rtl8139=2E:38:424:CE:61
sockets: 1
boot: ca
freeze: 0
cpuunits: 1000
acpi: 1
kvm: 1
onboot: 0
cores: 1
ide0: local:103/vm-103-disk-1.raw
bootdisk: ide0

if i really add acd from pve ide, then i find two in windows... ?!?
what can it be? i've done win kvm before but this never happened...

tried to stop/start, to remove from windows that device but it comes back. I will need a cd device there, later, but this "ghost" cd is not usable: what iso or local device could i point to?

here the # pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-7 (pve-manager/1.5/4660)

I remember this bug, but should be solved.

update your server and test again.

my pveversion:

running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.18: 1.5-5
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
qemu-server: 1.1-15
pve-firmware: 1.0-5
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-13
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve11
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5

Hi Tom, i updated my server (standard lenny based, is a test system)

now: #pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-7 (pve-manager/1.5/4660)
running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.18: 1.5-5
pve-kernel-2.6.18-1-pve: 2.6.18-4
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
qemu-server: 1.1-14
pve-firmware: 1.0-5
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-13
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve11
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5

i only getqemu-server: 1.1-14, though.
'qemu-server is already the newest version'

but
qemu-server: 1.1-14 -> reboot -> cd-rom still there
pve-firmware: 1.0-5 -> reboot -> cd-rom still there
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-13 -> reboot -> cd-rom still there
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve11 -> reboot -> cd-rom still there

i could try to create a new vm, now, but what if it happens in the future?
any other hint or suggestion?

yes, I can confirm this issue. Just installed a w2k from cd-rom, working and got one cd-rom inside. now I powered the VM off, removed the cd-rom and the new phantom appears. I moved the vm to a KVM 0.12.4, the phantom disappears, so its an issue with the old KVM and its working with the new one.

ok, i guess that i could install kernel 2.6.24 or 2.6.32 (kvm only atm) to have that kvm version, and this bug solved, then...

since i plan to get rid of that w2000 asap, i think i could live with this bug, if restoring from a "good" backup could get rid of future 'phantom' cds...
