I don't think that is a hardware failure because I can boot with RELEASE-4.2 cd. Maybe "sysctl" can force "ata" in PIO3, but I didn't find doc about "hw.atamodes" variable (man don't describe it). Does somebody knows where I can find documentation to "hw.atamodes" variable of "sysctl"? ----------------------- Alessandro Nunes nunes@corp.terra.com.br Terra Networks Brasil #-----Original Message----- #From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG #[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Andresen,Jason #R. #Sent: terca-feira, 30 de janeiro de 2001 19:54 #To: G D McKee #Cc: FreeBSD Questions #Subject: Re: Can't mount CD-ROM (acd0: READ_TOC command timeout - #resetting) # # #G D McKee wrote: #>=20 #> Hi #>=20 #> I would force the CD Drive to mode 4 in the BIOS and see if that = corrects #> it, or just leave it on AUTO and all should be fine. #>=20 # #If that doesn't work, have you tried swapping the CD-ROM with another #one? #It looks like the CD-ROM isn't able to read the TOC off the CD, which #could=20 #indicate failing hardware (dead spindle motor, dead laser, etc...).=20 #Does #the CD-ROM sound really weak when you insert a CD, or does it do a #normal #spin-up?
