hello all, After finally getting my modem to work on my 3.1-R box (stupid mgetty running on the same device ... makes life unhappy for Mr. Modem), I CVSup'ed to 3.2-STABLE and built world (but didn't install). For grins, I downloaded the latest STABLE SNAP kern and mfsroot floppies and tried to boot my machine with them (I've got the onboard Adaptec 7890 and wanted to make sure it was going to be detected, etc. before installing the world and a new kernel). Everything went fine but just as with 3.1-RELEASE, since I didn't have any media in my cdrom or cdrw drives, the driver didn't attach() and thus when I went to Custom->Media from within sysinstall and tried to choose "CD-ROM" it complained that there were no devices available. This behavior is repeatable with 3.1-RELEASE and the remedy is to insert the CD-ROM into your drive before the bus is probed--then there is media and the driver attaches, life is good. I thought I saw something go by on one of these lists that one of the CAM updates for 3.2 was the the CD-ROM driver will attach() regardless of the presence of media. Is this true? Or is that "new" (better) behavior only for -current, or what? -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
