Hi, I installed FreeBSD6.1 on old PC :
2xchannel IDE controller ATA mode 4 compatible 3xPCI v2.0 3xISA 16bit CPU AMD 5X86 32Mo 2 disks, 600Mo et 2Go connected at primary IDE 1 x cdrom connected at secondary IDE FreeBSD 6.1 kernel noyau generic I installed with floppy and ftp because the cdrom drive don't work right. I have tried two CDROM drive : "HITACHI model CDR-7730" and "SAMSUNG SCR-243", but I have the same problem I get the next error messages after mounting: #mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom acd0 : TIMEOUT-READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) acd0 : TIMEOUT-READ_BIG retrying ((0 retries left) acd0: FAILURE-READ timed out g_vfs_done(): acd0[READ(offset=34816, length=2048)] error=5 mount_cd9660: /dec/acd0: input/output error I have tried several CD disks and also " kldload atapicam" and "hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 et 1 but I get the same kind of message: "g_vsf_done(): acd0[READ(offset ...etc" The error messages happend especially if one want to copy a big file from the cdrom drive to a harddisk. With "sysinstall" I had always error messages. Anyone an idea? thanks, Claude _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
