Hi, Recently bought The Complete FreeBSD out of curiosity. I have two Linux systems running and in heavy daily use; I thought it would be nice to have a FreeBSD system to go with them. I bought an (admittedly, budget) new PC to install it on. However, during the boot I have about a 90% chance it seems to get the error "atapi0.1: unknown phase" (or "atapi1.0: unknown phase", depending on whether I connect the CD-ROM to the primary or secondary IDE-interface). I tried exchanging the CD-ROM players in the new PC and in both Linux boxes. They are a Lite-on LTN301, Lite-on LTN382 and Philips PCA408CDB. All three exhibit the same behavior in the FreeBSD box, yet all three work fine in any of the Linux boxes. On one web page I found the explanation that the atapi error is a sure sign of a sucky CD-ROM player. I find this hard to believe -- after all they work fine under Linux, and FreeBSD is supposed to be *better*, right :-) ? Is there some sort of patch or something that would make my system boot a little more reliably (as in, nearly 100% of the time)? By keeping fingers crossed, being really, really persistent and rebooting a lot of times, I have been able to install FreeBSD correctly, but whenever I reboot, the atapi error comes back to hunt me :-) Is there something I can do? Thanks, --Niels -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* "Wandering far from nowhere Fusix Networks - http://www.fusix.nl | I came across an old man - Computercursussen van iMac tot Office | working alone..." - Linux-servers voor Intranet | 'Something to live for,' GEG Niels Raijer - http://www.nest.nl/~niels *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
