Hey James, I do not have any optical device associated with the VM. What I tried and worked was to update the OS and also the kernel. Since I did an update from 2.6.X base repo kernel to elrepo lt kernel and Centos basic updates and then a reboot it was all resolved. I do not know the reason but it seems like the updated system solved the issue. Thanks, Eliezer On 06/09/2014 04:41 PM, James B. Byrne wrote: > 1.
