Now that I have qemu working pretty well for most things, I tried to start using it for DVD/CD access and it's not working well at all. I installed XP via a typical installation CD, so I thought I had it made in this area. :( I'm using '-cdrom /dev/acd0' the same way I did for the install. If there is a disc in the drive when I start qemu I can "see" the disc, and copy some small files from it. However trying to copy/read large files (say, 1G) doesn't work at all. I get an error saying that sector of the disc cannot be read (this is with known-good discs). I tried with and without the cd-rom DMA compile-time OPTION, no luck. If I remove the disc from the drive, or if there is no disc in the drive when I start qemu, inserting one after it starts produces no results. Every time I try to access the drive I get the "Please insert a disc into drive D:" error message. I'm using a fairly up to date 8-current as the host, btw. Any suggestions?
