Hello!
I am using FreeBSD on my laptop as a desktop OS. I am quite pleased by its - the FreeBSD's - general reliability. I was using 5.2.1 previously too, I've upgraded to 5.3-STABLE in the middle of the December 2004.
Few days later I noticed that I cannot mount any of my CD ROMs anymore. When I do:
#mount -t cd9600 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom
there drive spins up, its LED gets on, and ... nothing happens for some time. Simultaneously I can observe messages on the console such as:
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
(yes, seven times), and then the mount commands answers
"cd9660: /dev/acd0: Input/output error"
Here's the drive name as returned by dmesg:
acd0: CDRW <TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314> at ata1-master UDMA33
Here's the sysctl settings for ATA:
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 1 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1
Here's the atacontrol "list" output for channel 1:
ATA channel 1: Master: acd0 <TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314> ATA/ATAPI revision 5 Slave: no device present
Here's the atacontrol "mode" output for channel 1:
Master = UDMA33 Slave = BIOSPIO
The machine is Toshiba Satellite 1405-S151.
I am using a custom kernel, but the generic kernel distributed on the bootable ISO image had exactly the same problem, when it came do acd0 initialization. In my kernel config file I have:
# ATA and ATAPI devices device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering
The CD-ROMs I am trying to mount are:
1) burned (yes, I read this list's archive before asking the question);
2) these are data CD's with ISO filesystem on them;
3) these CDs are burned properly (Windows XP on the same machine has no problem mounting them; more over, FreeBSD 5.2.1 running on the same machine had no problem mounting them);
What can I do to get the drive working?
