I recently got tired of installing my system via ftp, so I broke down
and subscribed to the CDROM distribution. When it arrived, I tore open
the box and installed 2.2.1 over 2.2. The installation went flawlessly,
as usual (for me anyway). After rebuilding the kernel, I decided to
check out some of the packages. Initially, sysinstall refused to mount
the cdrom drive, but after a few tries it did mount. I was able to
install some of the packages, but only one at a time. After installing
one package and going for another I got this error:
matcd0: Illegal data mode for this track while reading block xxxxxxx
OK, so I used pkg_add and tried to install manually. Same problem.
Also, if I tried to install a package with dependencies on other packages,
the first package would install, and then it would bomb out with the above
error, when pkg_add went for the next file.
I'm using a Matshushita CR563 CDROM drive attached to a SB16 card.
I never had problems reading other cdroms. This problem is also
occurring with the live file system CD that was sent along with the
install CD.
Anyone have a similar problem? Is my drive hosed? Is there a problem
with the matcd driver?
