This is probably a virtualbox bug, but after I upgraded to 2.0.2, the program would not detect any of my cdroms. I found another post:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-559242-highlight-virtualbox+cdrom.html
which tells how to fix it, but I had to look, and it was older. Anyway, the fix is:
in your .VirtualBox/Machines/<MachineName>/<MachineName>.xml
make sure the following lines are in for any mention of the DVD Drive. These should be all you need.
Code: |
<DVDDrive passthrough="true">
<HostDrive src="/dev/<your dvd device>"/>
</DVDDrive>
|
Has anyone else had this problem? I am eventually going to post to the VirtualBox site, but this should work for now. |
