Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask for help about trouble with FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE (10
Jan 2001) detecting ATAPI slave devices.

Since the release of 4.1.1 last year, this problem has been an issue
for me and others (who wrote to Questions).

Their reports are (and my experience is the same) that FreeBSDs later
than 4.1-RELEASE (4.1.1-STABLE and 4.2-STABLE in my case)

- can't detect ATTAPI CD with post 4.1 FreeBSD but could with 4.0 or
3.x
- dmesg shows "ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded".

ATAPI masters are picked up fine.

I have tried changing the PIO and DMA mode in the PC BIOS (from Auto to
mode 0,1,2 in the case of PIO) without success.

When I use the the wd devices instead of ad devices, the driver probe
messages report the CD brand and capability but I have not been able to
change fstab to use the file systems (MAKEDEV wd0 doesn't help).


Thank you,

Yours sincerely,

S Hopcroft
