My FreeBSD box has a CDROM drive being recognised as /dev/acd0c "dmesg" shows: acd0: CDROM<ATAPI-CDROM> at ata0-slave using PIO4 "uname -a" gives: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Sun Jan 20 23:06:54 GMT 2002 root@/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 The machine is a P300 with 128 Mbytes RAM. FreeBSD is the only operating system. With version 4.4 when I try to mount the CDROM as root immediately after booting I get the following: # mount /cdrom cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Device busy #umount /cdrom umount: /cdrom: not currently mounted I noticed this problem originally with FreeBSD 4.0, although it may only have started after I installed the Linux emulator. After upgrading by cvsup to 4.1 and I found the CDROM worked OK to start with, but failed as above after I installed the Linux emulator. With versions 4.2 and 4.3 the CDROM seemed to work OK although I didn't try invoking the Linux emulator in either case. With 4.4 it fails consistently and the Linux emulator has never been run since the upgraded OS was installed. I looked in the TODO files in the isofs source directory and tried "mount -t isofs -o -norrip /dev/acdoc /cdrom" which might or might not have done the trick had "Rockridge Extensions" been the problem, but that just gives: mount: exec mount_isofs not found in /sbin /usr/sbin No such file or directory. Is anyone aware of any recent changes which might have been incorporated into 4-STABLE or 4-CURRENT which might resolve this problem? Is there anything I can run to diagnose it further?
