But what about those atapicd problems? Is it related to SATA interface

Now I'm confused. Didn't we just determine that your acd0 problems
disappear if you disable HPET in the BIOS (which makes no sense, but it
works, and is probably a BIOS bug)? If so, then what's that got to do
with SATA interfaces or LG optical drives? Please help me understand.
No, atapicd problems are still there regardless of HPET setting. But
with HPET enabled, when I kldload atapicd and then try to mount it
with command "mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cd0", I get neverending
"READ_BIG FAILURE" timeouts.
What is the atapicd error? I've read through the original mail twice,
and I don't see any mention of atapicd errors. Can you provide those?
Yes, for sure (I`ve mentioned them in my first mail)..
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
unknown: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
cddone: got error 0x5 back
Hmm... I'm still confused here. Let me see if I can figure it out.
When HPET is enabled and you try to boot a FreeBSD CD, you receive
the READ_BIG errors over and over, and it never stops.
But if you disable HPET and try to boot a FreeBSD CD, it works.
Once the OS is installed (with HPET disabled), if you run "kldload
atapicd", you receive the following error:
g_vfs_done(): acd0[READ(offset=32768, length=2048)] error 5
And if you try to mount the CD by doing:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cd0
Then you start seeing the READ_BIG errors again, and they never
stop.
Is this correct?
No Jeremy, we don`t understand each other.. sorry for my confusing
explanations in my previous postings.
I`ve FreeBSD-7 STABLE installed on HDD for a long time, so I don`t need
to boot FreeBSD CD /w installer. Last I`ve updated to kernel from 13th
November (via csup + make buildkernel/installkernel procedure). Before
I`ve not used FreeBSD some time because DRI is not workin` with onboard
graphics (Intel GMA4500, but Mr. Noland is doing great job here).
But now to the situation/problem:
you are almost 100% right, but I`m not booting FreeBSD from CD, but
from harddrive (SATA-300 mode). After I kldload atapicd, a see the error
you have up there ( g_vfs_done() ), and also I`m unable to mount
/dev/acd0 anywhere ending /w READ_BIG neverending errors. Maybe they
sometimes ends, but after 10 minutes of waiting I`ve pressed hard-reset
button.
Maybe I should try -CURRENT sometimes with your proposed ata patches (or
are they merged in right now?).
