RE: Non working dvdrom drive.
I have the same problem with my FreeBSD 5.1-R system on an Intel 865 chipset box. I have two hard drives on one IDE channel and a CD-R/W and CD-ROM on the other. FreeBSD always recognizes the CD drive that is jumpered master and throws the Retries Exceeded error for the slave, regardless of which drive is master and which is slave. I've just ignored this problem so far as it isn't mission-critical, but it seems like a shared problem is a good one to solve. Any advice from this list would be heartily appreciated! ...Robert I have installed FreeBSD-4.8-stable on my Intel 815 chipset Pentium III box. It has a hard drive (Seagate ST-340014A)jumpered as primary master and a DVDROM (Asus E616) jumpered as the primary slave. I also have a CDWriter (Samsung SW-212B) on the secondary master. When FreeBSD Boots up it throws out an error while identifying the DVDROM Drive as ATA Device Identification Retries Exceeded. If i change the places of the DVDROM and cdwriter then the dvdrom works fine but the same error occurs for the cdwriter which is now primary slave. The firmware of the DVDROM is updated to the latest release and so in the MotherBoard BIOS (Fujitsu-siemens D1184). All the drives works fine in Windows as well as NetBSD and Linux. I would be very grateful to anyone who would please guide to get all my drives working under FreeBSD. -- Robert Froese, RPF Assistant Professor, Forest Biometrics School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Michigan Technological University, Houghton MI. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
