Hello,=09
=09I recently built a new kernel to incorporate sound on my machine. Ever=
ything=20
seemed to come off without a hitch, no problems whatsoever. I followed th=
e=20
handbook and added a line to my custom kernel.=20

device pcm

I purposely left out options PNPBIOS just to make sure everything went al=
l=20
right to begin with

After this I made sure to check everything to make sure all my system=20
functionality remained intact....again, there appeared to be no problems.=
=20

This evening I went to mount one of my cdrom drives and the machine kept=20
giving me a problem saying=20

cd9660: /dev/acd0c : Invalid Argument

I checked /etc/fstab and the entry for both /cdrom and /cdrom1 remained t=
he=20
same as before, they are as follows:

/dev/acd0c              /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
/dev/acd1c              /cdrom1         cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

however, when I took a look a dmesg I found the following:

dmesg | egrep acd
acd0: CDROM <LTN486S> at ata1-master PIO4
acd1: CD-RW <HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B> at ata1-slave PIO4

To tell the truth, really have no idea how this happened. Does anyone hav=
e any=20
ideas, and more importantly, how do I get the cdrom(s) back? I am running=
=20
FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE. Thanks for anyhelp anyone can give me.=20
