Note both my HDD and DVD-ROM (Burner) are SATA II devices.
Does qemu support SATA for both HDD and CDROM?
No, qemu emulates only IDE (see "man qemu" for list of emulated devices), you have to use -hda option here...
Silly me I asked the wrong question again. I should have asked could qemu access my SATA hadrware. :-) Thanks anyway and the list may be interested to know I now have a litter of Puppies (5 x puppy-2.16) on my desktop and still have 116MB of free physical memory. ASUS M2A-VM, openSUSE10.3A4, 2GB DDR RAM, Sata2 HDD & Sata2 Burner. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
