Indeed. I copied the wrong URL from my mail to mav. The PR is at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/144151 This here would match my theory: >> cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: cmd timeout >> after 40.010 (40) s >> CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 because the command is sent especially to see whether any eventual error condition is gone. It should get a reply within milliseconds. > > and bothered mav for instructions how to upgrade > That's also documented in the handbook, starting with `24.5.2 Staying > Stable with FreeBSD' I read that before asking. It seems a bit outdated ("7-STABLE") and it is full of warnings. Actually i hardly feel ripe for makeworld.html I will combine that with my endeavor to install another FreeBSD from scratch. > Or maybe burning apps should just invoke hal-disable-polling(1), I > suspect that's intended for these kind of things... Interesting. I'll try to find out whether it works. (Often hal stuff on Linux does not work. The usual remedy is killall hald-addon-storage.) First i'll have to learn how to get a X desktop. Then i have to see whether hald does any harm. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
