I've just tired to mount a DEC OSF/1 install-CD on my UltraPleX SCSI CDROM (Tried both cd9960 and ufs filesystems). I didn't succeed and got the following messages: Feb 4 11:37:14 nv4 /kernel: cd1(ahc0:3:0): NOT READY asc:3a,1 Feb 4 11:37:14 nv4 /kernel: cd1(ahc0:3:0): NOT READY asc:3a,1 Feb 4 11:37:41 nv4 /kernel: cd0(ahc0:2:0): data overrun of 16777215 bytes detected in Data-In phase. Tag == 0x1. Forcing a retry. Feb 4 11:37:41 nv4 /kernel: cd0(ahc0:2:0): Have seen Data Phase. Length = 1024 . NumSGs = 1. Feb 4 11:37:41 nv4 /kernel: sg[0] - Addr 0xe40400 : Length 1024 However, there were no problems when I 'cat'-ted the contents of the CD into /dev/null. (Just to see if there are any reading problems.) A minute later the machine resetted, and I'm almost sure that it happened because of the problems I mentioned above. Do you have some idea what happened and what do these messages mean? I wonder why can some problem with a CD (both IDE and SCSI) bring FreeBSD down on his knees so easily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyén Zoltán <szoli@netvisor.hu> I'm believing that the Holy Spirit is gonna allow the hand, and the foot, and MAKE INSTALL NOT WAR the mouth, just to begin to speak, and to minister, and to heal coordinated by the head.
