Passthrough does not work anymore in 2.1.0 => Fixed in SVN

Reported by: oxmosys Assigned to:

Version: VirtualBox 2.1.0 Keywords:

Host type: Linux

Description

When I enable passthrough for one CD device, the guest operating system does not see any CD drive. If I type F12 at the VirtualBox "BIOS prompt" to tell it to boot CD instead of the Hard drive, it fails saying that no drive is detected. If I disable passthrough, everything start to work correctly again and the guest OS can read the content of the CD in my CD drive.

This feature worked perfectly yesterday with 2.0.4

Metoo. If I disable passthrough and restart Virtualbox, then the CD drive is visible in the guest (WinXP), but I still cannot access it. /var/log/kern.log says

If I read the CD to create an iso using dd on Linux, and register the file as a CD drive, then it works, but of course this is just a workaround, and it doesn't match all needs.

Hardware is a Dell XPS M1330 with a Sata dvd drive. Kernel is 2.6.27.10 (amd64). Virtualbox 2.0.6 worked fine.

Same here on OpenSuSE 11.1 with VirtualBox 2.1.0. Previous version of VirtualBox worked fine for me (on OpenSuSE 11.0). Here is some info from VBox.log that might be relevant:

I am having this issue on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64. I did a fresh install, never had previous versions. Log is almost identical to woelfel's so I will only post a single line to illustrate the difference: 

00:00:08.884 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#2: CD-ROM passthrough cmd=0x5a sense=12 ASC=0x80 ASCQ=0x7f VERR_INVALID_POINTER

I have exactly the same problem with identical error messages on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64.

Same here using:

  • Ubuntu 8.10 (i686)
  • Kernel: 2.6.27-9-generic
  • Sun xVM VirtualBox Version 2.1.0

Using a bootable CD-ROM, I get the message in VBox.log: 

00:00:04.414 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#2: CD-ROM passthrough cmd=0x28 sense=9 ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 VERR_INVALID_POINTER
