supported cdrom not found by 8.4 setup
i'm trying to install 8.4 on a thinkpad x230, which uses a usb cdrom. according to the hardward docs, 8.4 supports teac cd-210pu. that is what i am using. the box boots up fine from the installation cd. but when it comes to choosing an installation medium, the system doesn't find the device. idea, anyone? thx. david coder ___ 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
THe number of cdrom in /dev
hi, I'm sorry to bother you. I know you probably got something better to do. So I'll just take a minute. My system's been down for a while - anyway I wanted to add data from a cd, but the prompt reads can't have more than 32 cd devices or drives. I couldn't figure it out tried alot. So now I'd like to take some of the devices out of the directory. However, I rm and they mostly return. I'm careful to keep those I see in the ref 4.2 book but do I have to change permissions or file types or should I use mv to another directory so I don't lose them permenetly? Cause I need a job and all I want to do is -- Can you belive this! practice SQL admin and database --oh joy! anyway if you've got an advisory or a fix for this and your not to annoyed please send it. You guys do a great job I wouldn't miss this for nut'in.

Which program does show this message? Please explain what you've done in order to get that text. How many _actual_ CD drives does your system have? Just to make sure this isn't the problem... :-) I couldn't figure it out tried alot. So now I'd like to take some of the devices out of the directory. However, I rm and they mostly return. FreeBSD's current /dev directory is a dynamical thing. It gets populated automatically under the control of devfs (at boot time) and devd (at run time) which control several actions that can be taken. I'm careful to keep those I see in the ref 4.2 book but do I have to change permissions or file types or should I use mv to another directory so I don't lose them permenetly? Which OS version are you currently using? anyway if you've got an advisory or a fix for this and your not to annoyed please send it. Just provide a bit more information so your problem can be diagnosed. At the moment, I'm just guessing. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Maybe the statement ist right along with the mentioning of on modern systems - where modern deserves an additional set of quotes. :-) I've been playing audio CDs regularly on FreeBSD 4 and 5, but I was lucky to have a sound card and a wired internal audio connector for my drive(s). The command % cdcontrol play 1 for example sets the CD drive to play state, and the audio signal was available at the front connector (often not present anymore on today's drives), as well as on the rear connector connected to the foot bone, the foot bone connected to the sound card, and the sound card connected to the amp system. :-) I'm sad, REALLY sad to see more and more simple things stopping working... Giving *others* write access (o+w) to sensitive system devices may not be a good idea in every setting. For the old fashioned solution, this was not needed: The user went to the operator ground, and g+w.

Unable to access CDROM device to play music

Mounting a data CD (ISO-9660 filesystem) _should_ work. From the error message, I don't think you have permission problems, but make sure that - as you're using ATAPICAM - have sufficient permissions for /dev/cd*, /dev/xpt* and /dev/pass*. Have you tried mounting using the ATAPI driver? # mount -o ro -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt Does this work for data CDs? MPlayer cannot play a file from a CD because it never finds a CD to use. It did work previously. Okay, seems that you're accessing the audio CD by mplayer, I now understand. You can specify -dvd-device dev as a command line parameter for mplayer to indicate which drive to use. Oh, and many programs use $CDROM and $CDPLAYER environment variables. Are you accessing the drive by ATAPI or ATAPICAM?

Can't boot from install cdrom/dvd ( was kein Betreff )
Hi! Try disabling AHCI. I had to do that on an Intel board. Hope it does help. :-) Well, it doesn't. The problem is that it doesn't find the DVD device (which is IDE). But I figured out that I can boot from USB just fine. The image of 8.0 BETA 2 works fine (I can install and boot that installation with AHCI enabled), but I'd prefer to use 7.2. Unfortunately there is no image available and the tutorials to create one all require FreeBSD. I found a PC-BSD image and will try this one now.

I guess to the parameter node of fstab and or /dev. Now when I try to load the cdrom from any where I get ...kernel cannot have more than 32 cdrom devices. Im stumped. Though, I just checked the site and found a little data. However could you offer any way to remove the 32 cd - cause -df does not show any loaded.

Re: Recovering root password from a drive by mounting the cdrom
Thanks Manolis for your response. This disk is running freebsd but it's from iomega software company on an unsupported raid controller product of theirs. I can't get any help from them even for a price. I could boot up the disk in single user but at the login prompt I can't type anything, even if I boot up in multi user mode. That's why I was trying the cd path hoping I could get in that way. Yes I think my console may been marked as 'insecure' in /etc/ttys that's why I am not able to get in as you said.

I am running a memory test ATM just to be sure, but so far, the memory seems fine. 4) No amount of poking around in the BIOS settings seems to help either. I am starting to suspect the MOBO. If I stick a couple of cards in the two available PCI slots, the system has trouble taking me into the BIOS screen. I have to remove the cards to reliably get into the BIOS settings menu. I wonder if this is one of those situations where there are not enough IRQs to go around. If it's a new MB the PCI cards are probably too old/slow to work right. I thought that even modern PCI busses would fall back to the old speeds. I've had not trouble with any of my other rather new mobos, running, say, old Adaptec controllers. Another thing to check is if the MB has any overclock settings turned on, these will screw up booting, going into BIOS, and some PCI cards. Go to BIOS and select reset to factory settings which turns off all the go-fast stuff. And make sure you confirm the CPU speed in BIOS with the actual speed stamped on the CPU. I've reset the BIOS to the most conservative mode, no overclocking, etc. Sometimes you just got to stick a floppy disk drive on the thing and boot from the 4 boot floppies then do an FTP install. I have about a dozen servers among the collection I manage that are like this - some are even newer ones. I would *love* to know just where boot is getting lost. In the case of your servers, do you see the same symptoms I am seeing: The kernel loading progress prompt gets painted (most of the time, sometimes it does not even make it that far) and the booting seizes up? No, they won't even load the boot loader. The symptoms your describing are classic for PIO/UDMA negotiation issues. In other words, the connection from the atapi controller to the optical drive is being negotiated by BIOS as UDMA and negotiated by the FreeBSD boot kernel as UDMA but a bug somewhere is causing the bus to corrupt data. The usual fix is to switch to PIO mode. The only problem with this is that you have already swapped optical drives, and I'd assume that at least one of the swaps didn't support UDMA mode (thus forcing PIO mode) you also said you already checked this, and even if it did negotiate UDMA it would be UDMA33 not anything faster that would require the special high speed IDE cables so we can probably rule out a crap CDROM cable. Lastly, the default on the ata driver is supposed to be PIO mode anyway for optical drives.

Re: CDROM Boot Hangs But Only Under 6.x
I have 18 brand new Gateway towers at work (I can supply the model numbers after school restarts next week). I wanted to clone them using dd and an external usb hard drive. I couldn't boot 6.x or 7.x CDs on any of the boxes, but I was able to install 7 (I didn't try 6.x) on a usb stick, set the BIOS to boot from the device and run FreeBSD (and dd) from there. These machines have CDRW/DVDR drives installed. I've had no problem running any content based media from them at all, but I haven't tried booting any other media (like WinXP) from them, either.

Hi, We are going to need much more information then that. How did you burn the cd's? (the files you downloaded are cd images that need to be burned as such). What type of hardware? Is the bios set to boot from cd? Do you have problems booting from other bootable cd's? Please be a little more descriptive when asking questions, and you may get more answers.

Gary, I've watched for this to go awhile before i went and jumped in, to ask my question ... it's about my cdrom drive, whic is a sony, one that's been 100% reliable for me, I used it regularly under linux with k3b to burn stuff. Now, under FreeBSD, k3b won't even recognize it as a ro or rw cd drive at all. I can coax burncd to burn bootable disks successfully with it, but after the command completes, all further accesses to the drive return device busy, and I have to reboot FreeBSD in order to even eject the cd. The only way I even knew the disk was ok was because afterwards, it tried to boot the machine from the disk image of a FreeBSD boot disk (which is what I was burning, for a different machine, an AMD64 next to it). Lucky that this machine is even binarily compatible (the Intel box is a 64 bit processor, so it boots AMD64 fine, but I didn't install it that way). Anyhow, how could I either coax k3b to recognize it, or get burncd to let the disk go after it's finished with it? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nothing. (I'm using a data disk, not audio.) Ideas? This page of info from K3B may shed some light on the problem for you: Notes for FreeBSD 5.x and onwards users: 1. The FreeBSD k3b port supports SCSI drives only. If you have IDE CD or DVD drives, use them through the cam system. See Chapter 12.5.9 of the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html#ATAPICAM) 2. Your CD and DVD drives must have a mount point in /etc/fstab. They have to be accessed through their atapicam device if possible. I.e. the drives have to be adressed by e.g. /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0. 3. k3b has to be started from a root console, which is not recommended. Alternatively do ALL of the following: 3a. set the suid flag on cdrecord and cdrdao. The 'Notes' chapter of 'man cdrecord' discusses this. 3b. - For every user who should be able to use k3b and for every CD or DVD device add a directory in the users home directory. These directories must be owned by the corresponding user. For each such directory add a line in /etc/fstab (see remark 2), like: /dev/cd0c /usr/home/XXX/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0 Furthermore allow user mounts as described in topic 9.22 of the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#USER-FLOPPYMOUNT To make the chmod's to /dev/cdX permanent, do the following: * add 'devd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf * add a 'perm cdX 666' to /etc/devfs.conf for each cd/dvd device. X is the device number. If you prefer allow access for a group only, add a 'perm cdX 660' instead, followed by an 'own cdX root:XXX' where XXX is the group name. Alternatively (especially if you are using hot plug capable CD or DVD drives) you could add an 'add path 'cd*' mode 666' or an 'add path 'cd*' mode 660 group XXX' to your /etc/devfs.rules under '[system=10]'. To enable it, add a 'devfs_system_ruleset=system' to your /etc/rc.conf. - or just give mount and umount the suid flag, which is a security leak. 3c. Every user who should be able to use k3b must have read and write access to all pass through devices connected with CD and DVD drives and to the /dev/xpt0 device. Run 'camcontrol devlist' to identify those devices (seek string 'passX' at the end of each line and modify the rights of /dev/passX). Note, that this is a security leak as well but that there is no alternative! To make this changes permanent, add 'devd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf as described above. Furthermore add a 'perm passX 666' for each pass device and a 'perm xpt0 666'. If you prefer to bind the access rights to a group, use the own command as described above. If you prefer to set this rights dynamically, add a line 'add path 'pass*' ...' to your /etc/devfs.rules as described above. 4. Check, that DMA is activated for atapi devices: 'sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma' If not, set it to 1 and put a 'hw.ata.atapi_dma=1' into /boot/loader.conf. 5. Create a directory on a partition, which has enough disk space to hold a CDs or DVDs content (usually below /usr). Enter this directory in Settings- Configure K3b...-Misc. 6. If you experience problems while burning CDs, try to set the cdrdao driver manually. To do so choose Settings

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.
