/dev/cdrom disappears during iso mount in Virtualbox


Hi guys,

What happened to this this is the most essential thing that always worked in Slackware.
1. I installed a fresh new Slack current from this iso - https://slackware.nl/slackware/slackware64-current-iso/ - in Virtual box for some script development on my Win10 desktop.
2. Usually my next step is to install Guest additions by "insert guest addition CD image", but as soon as I do this the /dev/cdrom disappears from the system... In fact any attempt to insert iso image into the Virtualbox cdrom optical device has the same effect...

Do I miss some trivial thing that was change regarding /dev/cdrom? The device is on IDE controller so there should be no issues...

Hello,

I have same issue (VirtualBox 6.1.22 r144080). The only solution I found so far to (at least) install the guest addition is to insert the "guest addition cd image" before starting the VM...
