Hi , I'm disperated I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.8 ,and all at the first look was ok , this was only a try in a small partition , and now I have decided to install it in a bigger partition , so I've downloaded the 5.1 ISO (to give it a try too) and I've tried to BURN it with "burncd" . Now, I've noticed that in the DEV directory there are the devices "acd0a" and "acd0c" , I've thought that acd0a was DVD and acd0c was CD-RW... but I was wrong... ACD0 is only the DVD , CD-RW (a Liteon 52x 24x 52x) isn't found at all!! Literally from DMESG: ata0-slave: ATA identify retries excedeed and sometimes it doesn't find my DVD too , with the message : ata1-slave: ATA identify retries excedeed so, I'm without CD and DVD :cry: What I can do?? My system is: Athlon XP 2400+ MSI KT4 Ultra (KT400) MoBo The CDRW and DVD are attached to the two slave of the two ATA channels Help me please , I've tried to remove the DVD in order to try to get CDRW recognised , but it doesn't work anyway Thanks for help
