I've heard about problems with GoldStar CD-ROMs. A quick search of the mail archives at http://www.uk.freebsd.org/search/search.html entering ``GoldStar'' as the search string threw up a lot of info. Seems they are problematic. Below is one posting that seems to have a solution (slave it to a HD). Take a look at the archives, you may find other useful info. Failing that I reckon your best bet is to get a new drive. Sorry. ------- begin included message ------------ I have a system with an ATAPI IDE CD-ROM drive (Lucky Goldstar CRD-8322B), and a SCSI hard disk off a Diamond Fireport 40 controller. When I try booting off a FreeBSD-2.2.8 installation CD, the kernel doesn't detect the IDE CD-ROM unless I also hook up an IDE Disk. I've tried using the "Cable Select", "Master" and "Slave" settings on the drive, and they all fail. When using "Cable Select" or "Master" the IDE controller is detected but the drive is not. With the "Slave" setting, the controller is not detected at all. Should FreeBSD-2.x be able to work with just one IDE device which is a CD-ROM? ------- end included message ------------ -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
