Hello--

I searched the FAQ and handbook for an answer to this before asking, but I
still apologize in advance if this is a "stupid question."

Here's the situation...

Ever since I upgraded to 2.2-STABLE, I am unable to mount any CD-ROM's
that I have (I tested this by going back to the 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel and
the CD-ROM worked great, unfortunately, I need 2.2-STABLE for some other
fixes.)  I am sure the CD-ROM is working fine and the CD is OK.

When I mount the CD, it says:

# mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/wcd0a: Input/output error

The drive is on the second IDE channel as a SLAVE, without a master (this
worked fine before with 2.2.2-RELEASE, has there been a change?).

I also double checked my source configuration files as well:

controller 	wdc1	at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
disk 		wd2	at wdc1 drive 0
disk		wd3	at wdc1 drive 1

options 	ATAPI
options 	ATAPI_STATIC
device		wcd0

I also have it set up for the primary controller.  This is the same
configuration that was in GENERIC for 2.2.2-RELEASE on my system.

The drive is detected on boot up too:

/kernel: wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <FX801S/X01>, removable, intr, dma, iordis

I've also searched the mailing list archives, and most of the time the
error is due to the device not being recognized or a CD not being in the
drive, etc.  However, none of that applies here.

My question is: is there something in 2.2-STABLE that's changed that I
would need to make other changes to my OS to make the CD work?

I don't subscribe to the freebsd-questions or freebsd-stable mailing
lists, so please send a copy of your reponse to me via e-mail.

Thank you very much for your time,

Jay
