Why when installing from multiple DVD's, KVM gives error when we click on "Disconnect" button?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

Customer installs RHEL from two DVDs. After finishing the first one, the other DVD is requested. When the customer clicks on "Disconnect" the CDROM, the following error appears:

> libvirtError: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'eject':  
> Device 'drive-ide0-1-0' is locked

libvirt should allow the user to ask for force eject. Otherwise, in case 'cd' is already mounted by the file system, user is prompted for error
when trying to eject.
