Subject:   vmware2 cannot "see" ATAPI cdrom under 4.x stable
Message-ID:  <B6BC25C2.F2E6%satz@iranger.com>

vmware2 port installs and starts properly but cannot see the ATAPI cdrom.
System is running 4.X stable. No hard disk is configured and the guest os is
either win95 or win98 from floppy.

I get the following messages from the vmware log:

Feb 21 09:36:37: Forking AIO IDE1:0 pid=4549 sharedArea=0x2b7b3000
size=0x2000
Feb 21 09:36:37: ATAPI_CDROM: cdrom.modeSenseInterval=8
Feb 21 09:37:20: VIDE: (0x170) OUTB Cmd of 0xA1 for non-existent drive 1
Feb 21 09:37:21: F(173):311 0x2fff 2
Feb 21 09:37:21: VIDE: (0x170) ATAPI Unexpected IN len 2 w/o active Cmd

The last error repeats many times. The cdrom drive is reported by the kernel
as follows:

Feb 21 14:07:56 pooh /kernel: atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port
0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0
Feb 21 14:07:56 pooh /kernel: ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
Feb 21 14:07:56 pooh /kernel: acd0: CDROM <E-IDE CD-ROM CR-856E> at
ata1-master using PIO4

The cdrom is configured as follows for vmware:

# CD-ROM
ide1:0.present = TRUE
ide1:0.fileName = "/dev/acd0c"
ide1:0.deviceType = atapi-cdrom
ide1:0.startConnected = TRUE

I have tried using different numbers in place of ide1:0 but with no luck.
The cdrom is a master. Does anyone else have any ideas on what I need to do
to get vmware2 working with the cdrom?

Thanks,
Greg
