I've had less than good luck getting it to work in FreeBSD-2.2.1-RELEASE, I've Activated the device worm0 line in the kernel , as I will show you... and I've changed burncd.sh to "Supposidly" work with the PHILIPS CDD2000 , but I have the CDD2600 and there may be some imcompatability.. i don't know. I can read from this cd-r drive fine, but not Burn anything at all ( isn't technology wonderfull ? :) , Is worm0 Supposed to show up in the dmesg if its active and functioning properly ? , Because it isn't listed in the dmesg when I boot, and Wnenever I try and Burn a CD from an image file ( with burncd.sh ) , OR run wormcontrol with any argument I get.. wormcontrol: open(/dev/rworm0): Device not configured This is the line I have added in the Kernel config file.. device worm0 at scbus? here is a small Snip from my dmesg.. <snip> ahc0 <Adaptec aic7850 SCSI host adapter> rev 1 int a irq 9 on pci0:18 ahc0: Using left over BIOS settings ahc0 aic7850 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 3SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:4:0): "PHILIPS CDD2600 1.07" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:0:4:0): CD-ROM cd present [300989 x 2048 byte records] <snip> Note: /dev/worm0 and /dev/rworm0 do exist. Well , Thats about all I can think of , People have tried to help me with no success ;( Some say That the 2600 just isn't Supported and I'm dead in the water , some say its a bug in freebsd , some say that my kernel config is wrong. I've given up hope of me getting this to work , So I decided to post a mail to here ;) I love FreeBSD as an OS , and its Performed Perfectly , and its been compatable with all my hardware..Except my cd-r drive ( if you call this imcompatability ) , Excpet for this slight "Incident" I would have classify FreeBSD's performance, stability and Ease of use as Excellant. All help is Greatly appreciated , I can be reached at Brick@dal.net , or as Brick on DALnet.. in #freebsd ( where else would I be ? ) Thank you in advance, Jim Davis
