Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 20:59:01 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm trying to install 4.2R on a Compaq Presario 7170. It's an older box with a Pentium overdrive chip, 48MB RAM, 812MB Conner, 3815MB Western Digital, and Matshita CDROM on ata0-master (ad0), ata0-slave (ad1), and ata1-master (acd0). After doing a graphical config, it took at least 5 minutes for the "devices to settle". I finally got through the config and began installation. On screen one, I see... "All filesystem information written successfully" On the debug screen I see... "acd0: PREVENT_ALLOW command timeout - resetting" "ata1: resetting devices .. done" above message repeated 3 more times "acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY command timeout - resetting" "ata1: resetting devices .. done" above message repeated 3 more times "acd0: READ_TOC command timeout - resetting" "ata1: resetting devices .. done" above message repeated 7 more times "acd0: READ_CAPACITY command timeout - resetting" "ata1: resetting devices .. done" above message repeated 3 more times "acd0: READ_CD command timeout - resetting" "ata1: resetting devices .. done" above message repeated 4 more times I've been watching it now for the last 15 minutes and it's repeating the READ_CD message. Does anyone know what's going on? Bad CDROM? IDE Controller? Any and all ideas appreciated. -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
