Once I''ve gotten my installing done, how do I alter my config files to use the physical CD-ROM drive for the CDROM on the DomUs? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
''phy:/dev/scd0,hdc:cdrom,r'' , Depending on your hardware and how it''s connected, it could as well be /dev/hdd instead of /dev/scd0 G.

This is important because it implies that eject commands won''t work, and commands that really expect certain CDROM operations to be available may become confused.

So far the cd access on the virtual machines seems to be working well. I''m using [ ''phy:/dev/cdrom,''...] One odd thing though is that I can no longer get out to the internet from Dom0. It was working, and for no descernable reason that I can find it stopped. If I ping using -I eth0, I can get out. If I ping using -I peth0, my traffic doesn''t get out past my machine. Any ideas?
