Even if you setup a master device on the same cable with the pseudotroubled one it won't work. I don't know why, but on my kernel from which I removed all SCSI support it then worked. For you, with a CDRW... if you remove SCSI support (including ATAPICAM) the cdrdao will not work any more... It seems a FreeBSD's problem with using removable ATAPI devices. The floppy controller behaves strangely with ACPI activated, for example... This is a minus for the FreeBSD, a very stable and secure system... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the bios.how do you ahve the devices defined? have you tried to set them instead of setting to auto? How do you have the jumpters setboth on these devices and the master device? Do you always use the same master device or have you tried with a different on? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks.

My AL440LX motherboard will not accept ANYTHING except ONE CDROM drive on secondary master. Secondary IDE slave is not accessable at all :-( I have no idea how to fix this. :-( -- Regards, Brian sos-sa.org.au ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
