VMware & FC2 - Thinks CD drives are removable disks?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Recently installed VMware (build 8848 latest last time I checked) and
when specifying /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd as my CDROM's when I boot up
VMware it 'attaches' to those, but in whatever OS I am running it sees
those as 'removable disks' .. Never had this problem in Debian so I
believe it is FC2 specific..

I also tried booting up VMware with a CD in /dev/hdc and
boot-off-cdrom in the VMware BIOS, still no luck.. It doesn't even
know there is a CD there and does not try to boot off of it, so I
can't even get it to work when a CD is inserted, I had to rip my WinXP
CD to an ISO and use the ISO CD emulation feature.

An ls is as follows:
meff@ghreen:~$ ls -al /dev/hdc /dev/hdd
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22,  0 Feb 23 15:02 /dev/hdc
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 64 Feb 23 15:02 /dev/hdd

I am not logged in as root, though I manually handle my devices
instead of leaving it to console.perms, but I am indeed in the disk
group, and as you can see above I have rw permissions.

Anyone have any ideas? Sorry if this does not belong on this list but
I am pretty sure it is FC2 specific.

Thanks alot,
