Hi all I'm writing to this list to get confirmation that an ide hp7200i+ cdrw actually runs in FreeBSD. Does ANYONE actually have this running correctly? I do know it's on the supported list, however although I added in the kernel support and can get the drive to appear as if it's burning, about 10-15 minutes into the burn it COASTERS. I worked on this for quite some time and gave up. I no longer have the burner in FreeBSD on that box (only on my server box). I'd like to use FreeBSD as my workstation os, but fear that my drive will never work properly. On my last attempt my freebsd box ran fine in every aspect but burning, and the funny thing about the burning was that the error messages didn't have any consistency (seems like the error message i'd recieve was one of any number of messages), it did seem to error at similar times (10-15 minutes in). Does anyone ACTUALLY have this working on their machine? I know a friend thats got the next model up working fine, I wonder if my burners just a bit too old. I've got an asus p5a, k6-2 500 3dnow, 128M pc100 true 8ns memory, seagate udma 8.something gig ata 33 hard drive (I dunno if I said that right =P) a netgear fa310tx pci 10/100 netcard, a ymf719 chipset isa soundcard, an ati xpert98, a floppy, and an atapi cdrom. I'm really just looking for confirmation that this drive really does work in freebsd (not just on a compatibility list) Thanks l8tr2000 __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
