I had trouble with my Mitsumi IDE 16speed drive on 2.1.7. I've installed FreeBSD many times and thats the only time it gave me any trouble. I've long since moved to scsi, but I think that 2.1.7 at least, had some problems with the higher speed ide cdroms that sacrificed some atapi compliance for a little higher numbers (yea right, my 12x scsi is twice as fast) Murray Stokely, Technical Support Walnut Creek CDROM
