I tried a new domU with gpl pv 0.10.0.69 on xen 3.2.1 and the cdrom is

I see a xen block device driver corresponding to the vbd but no cdrom.

Are the 0.10.x drivers compatible with some "old" xen ?


It should work, but not if there is no CDROM in the drive at the time
(I'm assuming you are using the same config as posted in your previous
email where you have a physical CDROM drive mapped through).

I have a CDROM in my cd-drive, I tried also with an iso file (gparted
iso) and got the same problem.
Booting with /nogplpv show me the cdrom, and during the "xen bios" I saw
signs that indicate the presence of the CDROM.

Any idea on how to nail down this problem ?
