I just upgraded from 4.5 (off the CD Release) to 4.6 (off the CD release) and yadda yadda yadda ATA CDROM fails per the Errata (big read timeout, etc).
The workaround DOESN'T /home/dob: cat /boot/loader.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # userconfig_script_load="YES" hw.ata.ata_dma="1" hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" /var/log: gzcat messages.0.gz | grep -i timeout Jul 21 19:28:55 yorky /kernel: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting Jul 21 19:29:25 yorky /kernel: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting Jul 21 19:29:55 yorky /kernel: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting Jul 21 19:30:26 yorky /kernel: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting I even tried a 4.6.1 GENERIC kernel a friend prepared and it fails. /var/log: gzcat messages.0.gz | grep -i timeout|grep GENERIC Jul 25 21:48:43 yorky /kernel.GENERIC: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting Jul 25 21:49:13 yorky /kernel.GENERIC: acd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting I'm now stuck without a way to upgrade to 4.7 (off the CD's) (not really, I kept the old 4.5 kernel and if I boot.old/kernel.old, the CDROM works perfectly). I always do a source buildworld, installworld, mergemaster, build/install kernel yadda yadda. I'm willing to play Guinea Pig for any and all fixes. I've got a generic 50X CDROM: dmesg | grep acd acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM 50X> at ata1-master PIO4 It mounts, I can do ls, but "cat ports.tgz > /dev/null" results in the big read stuff. I've had one panic. Now what? I've seen others in the same boat.
