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? ____ | _ \ | |_) |_ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ | _ <| '__| | | |/ _` | '_ \ ====================== | |_) | | | |_| | (_| | | | | = Powered by FreeBSD = |____/|_| \__, |\__,_|_| |_| ====================== __/ | |___/
