Hello, My DVD-ROM drive isn't detected on boot by 4.3-RC but according to the mailing lists it seems to have been a problem since around 4.1-RELEASE for some people. I have a new Dell Inspiron 8000 notebook: atapci0: <Generic PCI ATA controller> port 0xbfa0-0xbfaf at device 31.1 on pci0 . . ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable ad0: 9590MB <HITACHI_DK23BA-10> [19485/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA It has only one IDE channel with the disk on master, DVDROM on slave. The interesting thing is I installed from a 4.2 CD and found that if I boot off the kernel shipped with this CD it still doesn't work, but if I boot from the CD itself my drive is detected and works fine. :-/ After searching the mailing lists I found a few other people have this problem though I haven't seen a solution posted, other than using the old wd ISA device. Is there a better solution? -- Toby. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
