Barney: Are you sure your media is good? Just a basic stupid question! From personal experiences on multiple OSes I've seen long timeouts/delays with bad media. I don't know if your box has all SATA ports or a mix of both SATA and PATA. But try switching the port on the DVD drive to either the legacy controller or the AHCI one? From the output nothing strikes at me. I know a lot of motherboards with ICH9R have two controllers behind all the ports, one is basic legacy IDE (even if its SATA, it is programmed as a classical PCI IDE controller in legacy mode) and one that is tunable to either AHCI or Enhanced (basically a true PCI IDE controller that doesn't take the default ISA I/O resources). If this is indeed a HBA driver issue, it would be good to know if its in the AHCI path or not. Since AHCI was detected (a good thing), try switching to Enhanced mode (AHCI disabled) as just a quick experiment (then all ports will be handled by classical IDE though you can lose some performance). Hope this helps, -aps On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 12:16 PM, Barney Cordoba <barney_cordoba@yahoo.com> wrote: > > --- David Schultz <das@FreeBSD.ORG> wrote: > > > On Tue, Apr 01, 2008, Barney Cordoba wrote: > > > When trying to mount a CDROM on the DVDROM the > > system > > > just locks up.
