RHEL 5.5 DVD install throws warning messages asking for CDs when driver update disk is being used

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When a RHEL5 5.5 installation is started with the DVD media and the "dd" option, it throws the following warning message:

"The software you have selected to install will require CDs".

  • This message is seen despite the fact that a DVD is in use for the install. This issue happens only when there is a driver update disk present and the "dd" option is passed to the installer. This issue is seen with auto load of drivers from OEMDRV devices as well.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 (RHEL 5.5)
