ATAPI CDROM Problem
Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on my new machine and have a problem. I boot using 6.2-disc1, but when I try to choose CD/DVD as installation media, the installer says: "No CD/DVD drives found". I tried the solution in question 3.13 of FreeBSD FAQ, but it didn't work. I tried setting the CD drive's jumper to Master, Slave, and Cable Select. None of them worked. I also tried installing FreeBSD 6.1 and Ubuntu Linux with no success. Knoppix also can't boot saying that it can't find the filesystem. However, I can assure that the drive is working, since I can boot CDs using this drive and Windows is very happy with it. By the way, it is an LG GSA-H22N. I looked at the boot messages by using Scroll Lock, and I can't see any messages indicating that FreeBSD detected my CD drive. It detects my SATA HDD though. And the strange thing I noticed is that, it finds 3 controllers, atapci0 (ATA), atapci1 (SATA), and atapci2 (SATA). But the ata devices start from 2: ata2, ata3, ata4, ata5, ata6, and ata7. There are no ata0 and ata1. Are there any suggestions? Thanks, Serdar Yahoo!

Re: ATAPI CDROM Problem
I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on my new machine and have a problem. I boot using 6.2-disc1, but when I try to choose CD/DVD as installation media, the installer says: "No CD/DVD drives found". Is this by chance a newer Core 2 Duo system with a motherboard with an Intel p965 chipset? If so, I think this is a known bug. I know at least one other person who was unable to install FreeBSD 6.2 on a p965 board. The installer does not see the PATA hdd or the ATAPI CD device on the JMicron controller. I'm not sure if it's related, but it sounds similar to this PR I submitted here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=103602 Others might be able to offer workarounds for getting the installer to work (since my DVD drive works for normal things, just not ATAPICAM).

Re: ATAPI CDROM Problem
Yes, the motherboard is Intel DP965LT (which uses P965) with a Core 2 Duo processor.

Re: ATAPI CDROM Problem
It turned out that DP965LT uses Marvell 88SE6101 controller for PATA, not a JMicron one. So, that bug does not apply. Is there a workaround I could use for that one?

Re: ATAPI CDROM Problem
Ok, it looks like the fix was checked in on Jan 4, 2007 (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2007-January/073285.html). I wonder if there is a way to build a CD with that fix included.
