In advanced settings, this can later be changed to SCSI but not to virtio. Manually adding a section <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='unsafe'/> <source file='/home/rlang/Downloads/virtio-win-0.1-49.iso'/> <target dev='vdd' bus='virtio'/> <readonly/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/> </disk> will yield a working virtio-based CDROM drive which is detected by both windows 7 and linux guests. It even displays it correctly as virtIO CDROM and the line "Disk bus" prints "virtio", but not in a dropdown box. It does not offer to change back to IDE/SCSI CDROMs. This is inconsistent with Hard Disks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above Actual Results: See above Expected Results: Have a third option to change a CDROM's bus to virtio. Have an option for virtio CDROM's to change them to IDE or SCSI. Have SCSI and virtio CDROMs show up along with IDE CDROMs, IDE HDD, SCSI HDD and Virtio HDD in the initial new storage dialog. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
