Hm, can you be a bit more clear here? Is this still during the initial
anaconda stage where it is reading the install.img from the CD-ROM? If that is
the case, I might suggest that instead of increasing the timeout, we also
monitor the CD device for activity. That is, if either the diskimage or the
CD-ROM has activity, we continue waiting.
yes it is during the anaconda load of the image. Your proposal makes
sense - I was going to take a crack at making something like that, but
didn't really have any idea how to do that :) As is today the value is
too low though.
