I have a similar controller to him, but mine is a VIA VT8233. I've been having problems in 4.4-STABLE (Nov 14) with reading both data and music CD's. The devices probe Ok, and the harddrive works fine, even at UDMA100, so it appears to be CDROM specific. In 5.0-CURRENT, CDs work fine, except for RockRidge CD's (which I assume is a filesystem driver issue in -current). I would just run 5.0, except that there are of course other things which are totally busted. If you would like me to send any system info (dmesg, pciconf, etc) I will gladly do so. I basically cannot use FreeBSD until I get these CDROMs working, and I am getting sick of Windows 98 already. Thank you for your time, and I will be more than happy to help you get a driver working (if you want to that is :-). -Craig _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
