[Qemu-devel] windows98 can't see a cdrom

[Ross Melin]

Hi all,
I'm using v.0.6.1 installed from the mandrake rpm. When I boot from a vmdk 
image win98 install the vm boots but doesn't recognize a cdrom. It seems to 
make no difference if I declare a device or an iso image. Using the monitor 
to "change cdrom test.iso" or anything else also makes no difference.

I thought maybe it was an issue with the vmdk image so I installed win98 from 
scratch on a raw disk image. The install went smoothly until time to run 
windows for the first time. Then again windows could not see a cdrom.

Is this a known bug? Or perhaps a problem with my configuration? 
I will gladly provide any debug information that will help. 

Best regards, 

Ross Melin

what is your qemu "run line" ?
Check permissions /dev/hdaX (X=3 ?)
