[Xen-devel] CDROM access?

["Tvrtko A. Uršulin" <tvrtko@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's the story with IDE cdrom acces from DOM0?

I have one at /dev/hdc:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 79, VID=1166, DID=0213
PCI_IDE: chipset revision 160
PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xa400-0xa407, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xa408-0xa40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hdc: HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8482B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hdc: ATAPI 48X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12

DOM0: Skipping partition check on cdrom /dev/hdc

xen:~ # mount /media/cdrom/
mount: No medium found

xen:~ # eject /dev/hdc
eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'

As a consequence, I cannot map it to other domains to use as a software 
installation medium.
