The AutoSense failure occurs on two desktop computers, whether
motherboard or not, and on three laptops. As I said, all PC's
run 8.1-RELEASE.
What I do not know is whether the Sony DSC (Digital Still Camera) has
worked on 8.0-RELEASE. I didn't use it for some time, so I'm afraid
I never tried it on 8.x.
But I am sure it worked on all earlier releases.
In my original post I have forgotten to mention that I never had any
problems with all sorts of thumbdrives and USB disks.
Fortunately, I can read the 256MB CF memory of the DSC on an Ubuntu
laptop.
Could it possibly be a DSC hardware problem which is ignored by Ubuntu,
but not by FreeBSD?
My Sony DSC camera did work under 8.0-RELEASE. It's a model DSC-W35.
It's seeing the umass problem now, and has since 8.1-PRERELEASE afair.
This fault is the same on i386 or amd64, intel or amd chipsets, USB
1.0 or 2.0, through hubs or straight off the m/b, etc.. I'm keeping a
backup box (intel atom / i386) running 7.3-STABLE around specifically
to work around the problem. I'd have said something eralier, but I've
gotten used to small nits poppping up and then disappearing; this one
is dragging along :(
sincerest regards,
Ross
