Vmware troubles

Ekim8587 · 02-14-2005, 07:29 PM

I'm running Suse 9.2, and after finally getting it installed, it tells me that my device /media/dvd/ exists, but it does not point to a CD-Rom device and thusly will be disabled, so I cannot install Windows XP into my Vmware. But it is a CD-Rom! It just boots and says there was not bootable disk found and that's where it stops.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

And yes, I've searched Google.

What does youe /media/dvd point to? What is in your fstab?

Is there a /dev/cdrom entry? What does it say?

In your /var/dmesg, what does it say about your CDROM?

/media/dvd/ points to my DVD-Rom drive! /dev/cdrom/ isn't recognized by VMware.

Since I'm not on Linux right now I can't check the other items, but I will later.
