To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 24 Oct 1995 21:05:08 +0000 () X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME7] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1375 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've checked prev. mailing lists and was unable to find a solution. I have a Pioneer DRM-624X cdrom changer, that FreeBSD only recognizes the first disk (but this is not the problem...) I wanted to play audio CD's from FreeBSD like I was doing from Linux, so I grabbed the xmcd dist from the xmcd web site. I was getting the well known ioctl permission errors (as reported previously). I then saw a post to grab a FreeBSD "fix" from burka.netvision.net.il, and the xmcd.static that was shipped with this package no longer gave ioctl errors, it paniced my machine with the message: panic: biodone: buffer not busy It would also "ping" my hard drive once a second or so. This is nothing new, I see from scanning previous entries on the mailing list, so I thought maybe I should sup another -stable version (at the time, I was running 2.0.5-STABLE supped in September). Today, I grabbed 2.1-STABLE, recompiled everything, and attempted to rerun xmcd. This time, I do not believe the machine reported a panic. It just froze SOLID. No numlock toggling (etc), ctrl-alt-del didn't reboot. I do not believe a panic was reported. I'd love to be able to listen to music again at work, but more importantly, I am concerned that this could be a problem with FreeBSD. I'm using a P90 AST w/32 mb RAM, NCR controller on MB, 2gb scsiII hd. Any solutions? Thanks! - Rich
