Hi there, with the kind help of Chris Wolfe here and the helpful bunch at LinuxQuestions.org I finally got VirtualBox OSE 1.3.3 compiled and was able to start the GUI and create a new virtual bootdisk. So far so good.
Now I would like to install the guest system, Windows Media Center Edition, from CD. However, VirtualBox doesn't "see" the CD-ROM. I have checked everything as suggested in the user manual chapter 9.4.2 "Linux host's CD/DVD drive not found". I have (without success) tried/checked this: - My user is a member of group cdrom - The device is group mountable, defined in /etc/fstab like so: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,users,ro 0 0 - export VBOX_CDROM='/dev/hdc:/dev/cdrom:/dev/cdrom0', because my CD-ROM drive is /dev/hdc and the other device names just symlink to it. - I checked /etc/mtab, and when a CD was mounted there was a proper entry for it But nothing helped. What's wrong or missing here? Thanks in advance!
