System hangs solid with ATAPICAM

2003-12-02 Thread Sean McNeil
Hello,

I've tried over several weeks to get ATAPICAM to work for me.  I've
tried with and without acpi (compiled in or disabled via. boot).  I've
tried turning on all debug.  I've tried a few misc. thigs.  All leave my
system hanging after the GEOM initialization without any indication of
debug output.  The only clue I have is that it sounds like my zip-100
was accessed right before the hang.

I've looked and there appear to be some other reports of ATAPICAM
problems, but I didn't see this one (possibly related to zip drive). 
Are ATAPICAM issues to be resolved before 5.2?

Cheers,
Sean

Did you try backing out rev.1.23 of ata_lowlevel.c?

That's interesting.  The bug avoided by backing out rev.1.23 of
ata-lowlevel.c is obviously system dependent.  I only see it on a
system that has a zip100.

I had (last time I checked) the same problem with my LS-120 (a 120Mb ATAPI 
floppy drive). Putting a disk in it during boot worked as a workaround and 
that allowed me to boot. I've since taken out atapicam because this got old 
fairly quickly. I think this goes back to when ATAng came in.

I saw that message about rev.1.23 of ata_lowlevel.c.  I had this problem
prior to that change.

I always have media in that drive, but I could try without media.  I've
had to disable atapicam too.  Only thing is, I have a CD-RW and a DVD-RW
that I can't use very well without atapicam.
