Hi there,

Problem: FreeBSD 4.x hangs on boot if I have an CRX120E 
(CD-RW 4/4/24) drive connected in my sistem.

What I have:
MSI K7T Turbo motherboard with VIA KT133A (VT8363A/
VT82C686B) chipset
IDE drives:
primary master: hdd (ata100)
primary slave: none
secondary master: Sony CRX120E (pio4)
secondary slave: CDROM (ata33)

It hangs after detecting the hdd.  If i disconnect the CRX, 
the system boot up fine.  I mention that the drive works 
well with other OSes (on the same sistem).

What I've tried:
- booting several 4.x versions (4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.0).  All 
have the same problem.
- booting an 3.4 version: this does not hang, but I see 
that it use the old wd driver.
- let the CRX be alone on its controller (without CDROM 
drive) - no results
- compiling an custom kernel.  I've done an "minimal" kernel, 
I even built an debug one. No results.
- disabling udma on motherboard.  no result.

Now, what do you suggest to do next?  I really want to use 
FreeBSD on this sistem ...


(and, please, don't tell me that ide sux :)
(I'll also appreciate if you cc me in replies)

Thanks,
Stefan
