My DVD drive is not detected using any kernel unless I enter the visual kernel config program. It is very weird as I must open each section in the config, I don't have to do anything but as long as each section has been opened, exiting the config will allow the drive to be detected. If I miss a section, no detection. 4.2 Has no problems detecting the drive. The drive is a Toshiba SD2042, and is on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. I partly believe it may be related to acpi as I get a few "too many dependant configs" showing at boot time. What can I enable to help diagnose this problem as I admit the details here are sketchy. (Will post a kernel -v soon). Cheers, Benjamin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
