Hi all (there was no "maintainer" listed on my machine - sorry if I pulled in
too many folks),
I'm having a problem with OpenBSD 4.2 & my HP Omnibook 800CT. Specifically,
the CDROM drive (SCSI ID 0) is not recognized. It is a SCSI CDROM drive,
since the notebook has built in SCSI. The SCSI chipset is recognized:
----------------------------
Jan 6 00:07:54 omnibook /bsd: siop0 at pci0 dev 5 function 0 "Symbios Logic
53c810" rev 0x12: irq 10
Jan 6 00:07:54 omnibook /bsd: scsibus0 at siop0: 8 targets
----------------------------
During the install, the CDROM drive was not presented as a possible source
(the 800CT cannot boot from CDROM).
If I try to mount /dev/cd0a (or cd0c, or cd1a, or cd1c), I see the following:
--------------------------
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0a on /mnt/cdrom: Device not configured
---------------------------
I have two CDROM drives (but only one connected at a time), and neither are
recognized. On boot, however, I hear noise from the CDROM drive as if it was
being accessed. These drives work when I boot from an install floppy from
RedHat 8.0 (just re-tested). I'd rather not go back to RedHat 8.0.
System details:
- As far as I know, I'm using the stable 4.2. I simply booted from floppy
then did a network install off of openbsd.org a couple of days ago.
# sysctl -n kern.version
OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC) #375: Tue Aug 28 10:38:44 MDT 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
Pentium MMX
80 MB RAM
4.3 GB IDE hard drive (boot)
No other SCSI devices attached
SCSI terminator dip switch is "ON" on the CDROM drive
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
