Post #401,564 by pwhysall 5/7/15 10:11:40 AM Reply	Re: Debian Wheezy Whilst it's really quite bizarre to be installing from optical media these days, I cannot replicate this behaviour. I have Wheezy installed on a Hyper-V instance and it's ejecting my physical DVD drive just fine. Discs mount where they should, etc. Query: why did you recompile the kernel?

Post #401,569 by Andrew Grygus 5/7/15 11:06:08 AM Reply	Why recompile? I often have to recompile the kernel because the Digi RealPort port server drivers don't like the distribution kernel. In any case, the RealPort drivers want the compile set on the machine for their install. I also have often had to recompile for special equipment - these are industrial machines, not home computers. I do not know what will be needed in the future, so I am not comfortable shipping a machine that is not ready and tested for recompile. Recompiling with my own .config also removes heaps and piles of unneeded stuff. Besides that, my clients insist on mounting FAT media in various ways, and Debian has the wrong character set as default.

Dunno. Chicken and egg thing I guess. - (Another Scott) - (1) - May 7, 2015, 11:39:15 AM EDT

Yes, I've thought of that. - (Andrew Grygus) - May 7, 2015, 11:55:14 AM EDT

The catch is USB booting - (scoenye) - (4) - May 8, 2015, 10:52:17 AM EDT

Really? That's weird and unfortunate. - (Another Scott) - (3) - May 8, 2015, 11:06:02 AM EDT

Sadly so - (scoenye) - (2) - May 9, 2015, 04:44:39 PM EDT

You may be on to something there ;-) -NT - (scoenye) - May 14, 2015, 07:47:14 AM EDT

Latest and greatest? Wheezy is retired. - (scoenye) - (1) - May 7, 2015, 08:49:45 AM EDT

Fortunately, my clients haven't heard of Jessie. - (Andrew Grygus) - May 7, 2015, 10:52:16 AM EDT
