I decided to upgrade my PC at home to FreeBSD 7.0, I've been running it at work and on my work laptop with no problems. But when I installed via the 7.0 disk 1, I received CD errors when I got to the point where it started copying the base distribution off the disk. When I booted off the same CD again, I saw something similar to the following: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=... ascq=... At first I assumed that it was my CD ROM drive (which has never given any problems) or a bad CD, so I burned a FreeBSD 7.0 LiveDisk and tried that, same thing. I burned 7.0-bootonly from a different machine, and I got the same problem. The odd thing is that my 6.1 and 6.3 bootdisks don't have this error on startup (I confirmed that it is an issue on 7.0 by burning a brand new 6.3 disk and was able to install successfully). Clearly 7.0 causes something to barf on my CDROM drive. A web search for this error shows various people have had this problem on 4.6, 5.3, etc. Can anyone help? Joe
