Reply-To: John-Mark Gurney Sender: owner-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The following reply was made to PR bin/2303; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John-Mark Gurney To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freefall.FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: bin/2303 can be closed when kern/2402 has been commited... Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 14:50:37 -0800 (PST) basicly the patch in kern/2423 will fix the main thrust behind bin/2303... the patch in kern/2423 fixes the problem as it wasn't the fault of cdcontrol but of the cdrom drive... I'm not sure if the patch will compile under -current, but the patches are relative to -current... I'm running 960801-SNAP (my main server is also my developement machine) so I can't compile the -current kernel sources until I do an upgrade... from the looks of it... cd.c hasn't changed enough so the patches should be a problem... also.. right now the patch requires that you add "options CD_BCD_HACK" to the kernel for my modes to be incorperated... then you need to edit scsiconf.c to add the option CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS to the quirk entry before the code will even run on a cdrom drive... it also doesn't impact how my other 'normal' cdrom drive works... if you have any questions... just ask... and I'll give all the info you need...
