Subject:   Repeated error from cd after 4.6 installed (i386)
Message-ID:  <3DB8445E.30428.45BCF@localhost>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

I got this problem after installation of FreeBSD 4.6 on an intel P75 
system. Any help to get the cdrom working will be appreciated.

Error message is something like:
 acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting
 ata1: resetting devices .. done
 
and is repeated several times

I've tried fixes for a similar problem as suggested in later release 
notes:
 set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
 set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
at start of boot and in /boot/loader.conf but this doesn't make
any difference that I can see.

NetBSD 1.5.2 installed straight off and cdrom seems to be fully
functional afterwards (so I should be able to mount a FreeBSD
partition and copy the cd set over from NetBSD).

Below is some hopefully relevant info from both FreeBSD and NetBSD:
