Greetings At startup, my dvd drive is not recognized and I get the error ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded. This is on a Dell Inspiron 8000. The result of uname -a is : FreeBSD mobile.kellyhendrix.com 4.3-BETA FreeBSD 4.3-BETA#2: Wed Mar 14 14:25:46 EST 2001 root@mobile.kellyhendrix.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/mobile i386 I did manage to boot and install 4.2-RELEASE from that drive, but I can't remember whether or not after the install if it was detected. (Guess I was in too much of a hurry to get X and sound up and working) According to windows the drive is a LG DVD-ROM DRN8080B. Just wondering if anyone could give me any insight into this problem. In my kernel config, I've tried both the ata and ata0 and ata1 entries with the same results. I've also commented and uncommented both ATA_STATIC_ID and ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA options and rebuilt the kernel. There is also an atapicd device entry. Just wondering if anyone could give me any insight on how to fix this problem.
