I was wondering if any subscibers to this list recognise the following problem. I just purchased 2 identical machines and I am looking to install 4.7 from CD. Both machines exhibit exactly the same behavior, so I'm pretty sure it is not defective hardware. The machine boots from CD successfully and when I skip kernel config it runs through apparently recognising my variious devices until it comes to the CDROM. It then reports acd0 MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting .. done ( The message repeats itself many times.) I then start standard install, specify hard disk partitions and ask to install from CDROM It then formats the hard disk ok, but reports acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices .. done ( The message repeats itself many times.) finally it gives up and gives error message Error mounting /dev/acd0c on dist Input/Output Error(5) Any ideas why it should boot from CD, but not then recognise it ? It is a generic High Speed CDROM DRIVE, E-IDE/ATAPI interface 52x speed. I've now launched an ftp-install, which is progressing slowly but I'd much prefer to start again from CD Thanks in advance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
