>Number: 2124 >Category: kern >Synopsis: Hitachi CDR-7730 ATAPI CD-ROM recognized but inaccessible >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Nov 29 01:40:02 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: john hood >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA >Environment: Pentium system based on an Asus P55T2P4 motherboard, rev 2.3, bios 1.08, NCR '825 with bios 3.04 and two SCSI disks and one DAT drive, Hitachi CDR-7730 ATAPI CD-ROM installed as master on secondary IDE port, no other IDE devices. (A system at work with an NEC CDR-280 also has problems, but that'll be the subject of another PR Monday...) >Description: All testing so far done with boot floppies. Kernel recognizes CD-ROM drive at boot, but attempts to access it with mount_cd9660 or dd fail with EIO. The drive is not obviously accessed, as indicated by the front-panel LED. sysinstall reports error 2 but finds the drive anyway, on its debug screen. >How-To-Repeat: Construct system, boot from boot floppy, run fixit, try and use CD-ROM... >Fix: None, but I'm willing to help with testing et al-- the system is a hacktoy. I may be willing to toss the CD-ROM in an appropriate direction if needed (btw, I live near Boston, despite the hostname). --jh >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
