[CentOS] USB DVD drive disappearing during kickstart install.

[Alex Tang]

Thanks John.

I'll check the BIOS on these machines.  Unfortunately, i need the DVD 
based setup to work because sometimes i have to do this at odd places 
where i don't have the network infrastructure to do PXE boots. 

What i'm confused about is that i didn't have these problems (well, 
mostly) in the the 4.5 based distro (and a 3.x based distro from a while 
back...but that was using CDs instead of DVDs).  It's only since moving 
to 4.6 and 4.7 that i'm seeing this consistently. 

Any other ideas?

Thanks again.
