Hello FreeBSD Hardware, I have a dell studio hybrid that I've been trying to set up for someone with FBSD 7.1.
The Problem: The install disk would hang during a probe of the CD/DVD drive with that repeated message about ' x seconds waiting for xpt_config,' and would have to be powered off manually. The Solution: Installing FBSD 7.1 to a usb flash drive, and recompiling the kernel without the ATAPI line got the flash drive system fully functional. What I'm Hoping For: To understand the problem more clearly. Ideally I'd like to help to debug the problem between the freebsd component and this particular drive. I know access to hardware can be a limitation for project developers, but I'm willing to conduct any tests, and provide any information I can. I hate to see something as critical for installation as a CD drive failing for new hardware. The problem CD/DVD drive: Sony Optiarc DVDRW / BDROM BC-5600S 104B (no firmware updates available as of today at sony's website.) Error Codes: The error code that would get printed twice was asc=0x64 ascq=0x00. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
