Hello FreeBSD Hardware=2C I have a dell studio hybrid that I've been trying to set up for someone wit= h FBSD 7.1. The Problem: The install disk would hang during a probe of the CD/DVD drive with that re= peated message about ' x seconds waiting for xpt_config=2C' and would have to be p= owered off=20 manually. The Solution:=20 Installing FBSD 7.1 to a usb flash drive=2C and recompiling the kernel with= out the ATAPI line got the flash drive system fully functional. What I'm Hoping For: To understand the problem more clearly. Ideally I'd like to help to debug t= he problem between the freebsd component and this particular drive. I know access to h= ardware =20 can be a limitation for project developers=2C but I'm willing to conduct an= y tests=2C and=20 provide any information I can. I hate to see something as critical for inst= allation as a CD drive failing for new hardware. The problem CD/DVD drive: Sony Optiarc DVDRW / BDROM BC-5600S 104B (no firmware updates available as of today at sony's website.) Error Codes: The error code that would get printed twice was asc=3D0x64 ascq=3D0x00. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail=AE is up to 70% faster.
