Hi Everyone,
I recently switched from FreeBSD 5.2.1 to 4.10 in the hope that it would
solve my seemingly unsolvable Nvidia driver freeze issue. Alas, it did not.
However, now that I am running FreeBSD 4.10 (and intend to stay with it) I
am having an error when I insert my Prolific TDX MemoDisk 256Mb Flash Memory
stick.
When I insert the stick, the following messages are displayed in the log and
on the console that go something like this:
Jul 23 16:20:48 UnixBox /kernel: uhub2: Prolific Technology Inc. USB_HUB,
class 9/0, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2

powered

Jul 23 16:20:49 UnixBox /kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed:
NOT READY, Medium not present
I have jumped to the conclusion (I'm a daring guy) that "NOT READY, Medium
not present" is a sure sign indicator of what the issue is but googling,
searching forums and mailing lists, and extensive man page study sessions
(camcontrol, etc) - which I really don't find hugely entertaining, turned up
very little. There were signs of this problem on devices other than mine but
the fixes for them unfortunately haven't worked for me. Also this device
worked fine with FreeBSD 5.2.1 installed fresh from the box (Although I do
now have my own kernel rolled). I would really appreciate some help if
anyone knows what could be the issue. The flash stick works fine in other
machines so it can't be hardware related. I've tried to include as much
information as possible, but I feel I might be at a bit of a dead end.
An attempt to mount the stick displays this:
gavin@UnixBox:~$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt
msdos: /dev/da0: Device not configured
And the following gets written to the log and console when the above mount
operation is attempted:
Jul 23 17:04:35 UnixBox sudo: gavin : TTY=ttyv0 ; PWD=/usr/home/gavin ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/da0 /mnt
