Since I installed Kernel 2.4.0 VMware is no longer able to
recognize my cdrom drive. VMware shows a dialog box on power up
with following content:
[...]
CDROM: '/dev/scd0' exists, but does not appear tobe a CDROM device.

Error connecting the CDROM device
[...]

At the same time my syslog records the following message:
Jan 13 21:49:57 nexus kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.

I tried 2.2.18 and VMware recognized the cdrom drive.

Any hints?

Cheers
Martin
