I originally posted to freebsd questions. Someone suggested that I post it here. Can anyone help? I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5R and the aic scsi controller for an Adaptec 2825 SCSI card. (the aic6360.c is actually from FreeBSD-stable in place of the one from 2.0.5R which seems to not recognize the 2825) Other than that, the system is stock 2.0.5R. I am using an external SCSI-2 CDRom drive (Mediavision RENO model). When booting I see the following: FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 10 22:19:09 1995 [ misc deleted ] aic0 at 0x140-0x15f irq 11 on isa aic0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (aic0:1:0): "MEDIAVIS RENO CD-ROMX2A 2.04" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(aic0:1:0): CD-ROM cd0(aic0:1:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 cd0(aic0:1:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed cd present.[400000 x 2048 byte records] npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface My SCSI-DELAY is set to 30 seconds. However, what I am concerned about is when I try to mount a CD (an ISO-9660) using the command: mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cd the CD starts to whirr, and after a few seconds I get the following message: cd0(aic0:1:0): timed out this repeats a few times and then (after a good minute or so, cd rom still whirring) I get: cd0(aic0:1:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:2,0 No seek complete Only then am I returned to a shell prompt and the cd stop whirring. I've checked and rechecked termination, scsi-bus speed, etc and still am getting the same thing. The hardware seems to be working, when I (uggh) boot to DOS I can mount the CDROM (same disk) and read it fine. I've been wrestling with the scsi subsystem in this beast for a week, can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Jay K.
