I get the exact same symptoms when booting with an audio cd in the drive. I haven't done too much about it as I rarely stuff such things in my box, but the cd/dvd part of fbsd7 still appears somewhat flakey. I see the "INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST" below on several boxes. On this particular machine "atapicd" is commented out in its i386-based custom kernel config, but it makes no difference as far as this warning/error is concerned.

Reading a Video CD from a DVD drive on 7.0
I recently made the upgrade to 7.0, and my girlfriend had some video cd's she wanted help with(end result is putting two pal vcd's on one ntsc dvd). I had a couple she'd given me before that were actually dvd's so I first put the new ones in my dvd drive and tried using mplayer on them, but it locks up with the read big timeout thing that I'm sure almost anyone who's messed with dvd's has seen. Under 6.3, that error would do the three tries, and then another three, and quit. I didn't not test under 6.3 using an actual vcd so I'm not sure if that's specific to the issue or not. But under 7.0, it'd just keep retrying forever. Since it was locked in device, I couldn't kill it, I couldn't eject the disc, and had to forcibly reboot the system. Now, the operating system still worked, but the drive was locked, and the kernel could not shut down. I doubt this is expected or tolerated behavior but given that it involves video cd's in a dvd drive trying to be accessed as a dvd, I'm not sure it's been seen very often at all. Was behavior changed from 6 to 7, or was this just an untested case? Does anyone know how best to deal with processes locked in "device"? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
