If the 'cdrom=' option is specified in the definition file but media is not found in the CD drive then main() in vl.c exits and the guest appears to hang. This patch modifies vl.c slightly to check for the presents of media. If the cdrom cannot be opened then the cd entry is removed from hd_filename[] and bs_table[] allowing the guest to continue initializing. If the guest requires the CD media then the guest should report, gracefully
or otherwise, that it's missing.

Doesn't this need a Signed-off-by: Ross Maxfield <rmaxfiel@xxxxxxxxxx>?

People have been complaining that a patch should not retain the Signed-off-by
line if the patch has been modified, because they do not sign-off the modified
patch.  If a patch needs minor changes before it can be committed, we can
either bounce it back to the author, which seems unnecessarily heavyweight, or
do what Keir's done here, and sign-off the patch himself.  The From: line
retains the audit trail, credit, and copyright, and it's clear that Keir
himself thinks that this patch is acceptable.

Just so this doesn't get lost in the discussion, I meant to say that I was referring to the original submission. The original patch submission did not contain a Signed-off-by line.

Regardless of the interpretation of the DCO, Ross should resubmit the patch with a Signed-off-by.

Anthony Liguori
