re:Burncd-Kernel Panic
I'm using an Intel DG33BU board with a SATA HD and SATA optical drives. Using FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64 I get a kernel panic and subsequent file system corruption when attempting to burn a cd using the burncd utility. I can avoid this easily enough by using cdrecord and growisofs which work as they should. I wanted to alert others using the same or similar boards. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to know why this happens. Is there a planned update to the burncd software or how it addresses the system that might remedy this in future releases? --David I'm assuming the reason for the panic is that SATAII is substantially incompatible with the old ATAPI standard that burncd was designed for. In light of the fact that soon, most hardware (even older hardware) will feature SATA drives, it would be nice if there were a compatible base system burn utility. Burncd could linger on for the sake of much older machines, but could be prominently labeled as legacy software. --David yet again ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Deluge 1.1.5 From FreshPorts
*I thought it might be of interest that a recent change to the Makefile for this port caused a build to halt with error code -1, gcc43 failure. I'm using 7.1 AMD64. When I replaced the Makefile with the previous version (1.54) everything went smoothly. I think this might be the line that caused the abort: - Add USE_GCC=4.3+ to fix building with boost 1.37. Just wanted to make others aware in the event this is a common problem on AMD64. --David * ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Mounting USB CD-ROM manually, after boot
Steve Bertrand wrote: Hi everyone, To get right to the chase, FBSD 7.0, I plug in an external USB CD-ROM device with a CD (of FreeBSD 7.0) and I want to mount it manually into the filesystem.

I know for fact the .iso is burned correctly, because I can boot from the same CD on another PC. Even still, a bad ISO burn still shouldn't prevent me from mounting AFAIK. I've also tried all manner of cd0a etc, but they don't exist. (I can confirm cd0 is the only entry that appears in /dev after USB insertion).

Re: K3b
Hi! I am new with FreeBSD. I installed one day ago 7.0 beta3 and I try to learn and setup the system. When I start K3b (KDE) I got a message: No CD/DVD writer found. K3b did not find an optical writing device in your system. Thus, you will not be able to burn CDs or DVDs. However, you can still use other K3b features like audio track extraction or audio transcoding or ISO9660 image creation. I tired as user and as root but resul is the same. BTW: under Linux I didn't have a problem Thanks in advance.
