Good work sir.

Hooray for non-deterministic behaviour ;) I cannot recall, does the
installer use udev, i.e. might it be a bug in udev hotplug?

Are you using iLO's Java/browser-based virtual media tool? We've often
found it a little flaky - you might (though I make no guarantees) have
better luck using the http method: put the .iso image on a web server,
ssh to iLO and run
    vm cdrom insert http://1.2.3.4/dir/ipcop-2.0-test.iso

 I'll test the "eject" in the standard installer with http-based virtual
media when I get a minute.
