Re: ATA Slave Devices

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If you set something up as a slave, make sure that there is a master on that bus. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This happened to me, too. Even if you setup a master device on the same cable with the pseudotroubled one it won't work. I don't know why, but on my kernel from which I removed all SCSI support it then worked. For you, with a CDRW... if you remove SCSI support (including ATAPICAM) the cdrdao will not work any more... It seems a FreeBSD's problem with using removable ATAPI devices. The floppy controller behaves strangely with ACPI activated, for example... This is a minus for the FreeBSD, a very stable and secure system... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
KDE, kernel or other problem?
I was testing this on Linux (2.4.26 or 2.6.x) and FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.21. My CD-RW refuses to eject media from KDE (NOT form GNOME) when I'm using the devices created on desktop and sometimes even at eject command from console. Or, EVEN IF the CD is ejected, there's an error like eject /dev/sr0 failed! (replace sr0 with coresponding devices for the OSes I mentioned). I repeat, NOT under GNOME. This happens on all the systems I mentioned, with/without atapicam or ide-scsi, respectively (I'm sorry for beeing so brief but I've been using UNIXes for ~3 years and I didn't have any problem). IThe problem appears with generic and self-compiled kernels. Help!

FreeBSD's problem?
Hello! I've been using Linux for 2 years and I know how to configure this system (not using GUI tools!). I'm now trying FreeBSD. My problems are: 1) If I enable ACPI, my floppy disk controller is not seen by the kernel! 2) My USB controller tells me that Error: Restarting port 1/2. 3) If I'm using kdm, log into GNOME as root and select Shut Down when exiting directly from the GNOME session's logout menu, my system hangs untill I press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Alt-Del. This was not happenning on Linux. Is there anyone who had these problems and knew how to manage them? Thank you! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kdm or GNOME-session hangs?
I'm using FreeBSD 4.10 with a custom kernel. I have two problems: 1) If ACPI support activated, my fdc0 does not work (the kernel can not reserve I/O port addresses for it). Without ACPI, everything works OK, but: 2) When using kdm as display manager, if I select GNOME session as root and then try to halt/reboot directly from the GNOME's logout menu, the system appears to hang until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del. After that, the system reboots (of course). What's the problem? How can I solve it? This is not encountered in Linux, for example. Thank you.

GNOME on FreeBSD
I'm using kdm as Display Manager with FreeBSD. If I select a GNOME session as root and then try to restart/shutdown from GNOME the system hangs (until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, when reboot sequence continues normally). How can I avoid this? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a problem!
I'm using FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE with two systems. Both have VIA chipsets - the older KT133A (my parents' home) and the newer KM266 (my home). For both of them I've compiled specific kernels, with ACPI support. KT133A works perfectly - no errors, warnings or anything of this kind. With KM266 there is a problem: fdc0 is NOT detected, for the kernel cannot reserve I/O ports. With ACPI disabled, on the other hand, USB subsytem reports various errors - restarting one or more ports, then giving up with controller configuration. The GENERIC kernel you provide works well when apm0 is off (the ASROCK MB I use has only ACPI), but it has no ACPI support. What can I do (in order to have ACPI, fdc0 and USB working well)?
