Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM
Hey Toomas, In followup to my prev. reply and your question. Here is the output of the command: 'grep acd0 /var/run/dmesg.boot' acd0: CDROM Compaq CRD-8322B/1.03 at ata0-slave PIO4 Thanks. PS: Kent, your suggestion is what I have already tried ...I've tried to 'umount /cdrom' it doesn't do anything since BSD cannot find it... when I go in /dev I do not see /cdrom there is only acd0, However when I try mkdir cdrom under /dev it says it already exists...? ls -a doesn't show anything. The intelligence behind the O/S is what amazes me...lol From: Toomas Aas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Michael Neeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 23:23:13 +0300 Hi Michael!

I also included the line device sound in the MYKERNEL (customized kernel Chp. 7) for some reason it doesn't work when I want to run mpg123... The above stuff seems roughly correct. That's how I built sound into kernel on my home PC, but I'm not at that PC now so I can't check my kernel config. What do you mean by it doesn't work? Do you get an error message?

After building sound into kernel, you can also remove the relevant module loading lines from /boot/loader.conf, but I think that even if you left them in it shouldn't prevent sound from working - you would just get an error message saying something to the tune of file already exists, meaning that the functionality for which you are trying to load the module is already included in the kernel. ...Anyways this is the least of my problems.

Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM
Hey Toomas, Thanks for your detailed reply. As far as problem #1: When I re-complied to statically include the sound it gives me no output, not even when I used kldload to load the driver... it simply loads without any output... How do I check mixer settings? I am religiously following step by step instructions to the installation: Chapter 7.2.3: Did this screw up my output? # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 As for problem #2 which is the frustrating part and I need to get working is - I used to be able to mount my /cdrom and view files on the CD - even if they meant MP3s even it meant I could not play them back... Now it simply goes to the error: cd9660: device /dev/acd0 Input/Ouput error It's been the start of week#3 and this is taking too long to setup one operating system !! (that's where windoze wins, simply pop in the CD and forget-about-da-rest). I guess I lost my original kernel so that's why I'm in an endless loop... :o( Thanks for your response I'll send y'all the output from the 'grep acd0 /var/run/dmesg.boot' I'm away from my PC right now.

Re: Cold Reboot (or cold restart) FreeBSD? locore.s hack attempt
Hey Billy, I have the same problem...however am not a hacker :(only a newbie to FreeBSD 5.3. My system for some reason does not do a reboot using: shutdown -r now or reboot now. I am frustrated with having to manually turn on my PC each time I attempt to do a rebootAny solutions out there would be much appreciated. Btw, does this cause bad sectors on the HDD. Thankx.

Would like to get back my command prompt!
A newbie with installing FreeBSD 5.3...I installed X and got excited to direcly log on to X (xdm) with the dialog box. I modified the lineto turn xterm on: ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm - nodaemon xterm ON secure. Now I am stuck in a login loop... I would like to configure X and install KDE, but it is stuck on the ChooseSessionListWidet I can only choose 2 options DEFAULT/FAIL SAFE and CANCEL and nothing happens in either case... hitting CTRL+ALT_+BKSPACE does nothing How do I just login to the command prompt without X opening directly?? I think I tried option 6 and it gives me a command prompt but I cannot edit any file. Thanks in advance.
