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
