Well yes, but it cannot see the cd-rom drive:
CD-ROM: '/dev/cdrom' exists, but does not appear to be a CD-ROM device. Error connecting the CD-ROM device.
And does /dev/cdrom point to a valid cd device?
Well there is a /media/cdrom as you know in 8.1. But should it be /dev/cdrom or what do you think/know ?.
I don't have the answer to your problem, but I just want to mention that I have VMware Workstation 3.2 running on SuSE 8.1 without any problems. I have an AMD processor, so my kernel is k_athlon (2.4.19-66) I got the message about the prebuilt modules not working, and the need to compile. i basically accepted the defaults (except I didn't ant to access the host filesystem) and it compiled the modules. I got a lot of warnings, especially the -malign-jumps is obsolete message. vmware-config.pl ran fine. initially on starting vmware it segfaulted, but adding "apic" to grub fixed that. Now it works fine. My cdrom is /media/cdrom in linux and /dev/cdrom in VMware. in any event, it is possible to run VMware Workstation 3.2 on SuSE 8.1. My guest operating system is Windows NT, but I don't think that matters. Mike -- Michael A.
