Hi there all. I use both 2.2.5-release and 2.2.6-release. Its a GREAT OS. But, the damn atapi cd hangs occasionly. Is any one working on this? I can here the purists saying "IDE sucks anyhow, use SCSI gear", there is LOTS of IDE gear out there. I am not threating to defect to another OS but can "Freebsd" ignore such a large prospective base of users? I have done a bit with FreeBSD but if a newbie had lockups every second time they tried to use a cd I am sure they would tire of it quickly. From memory the frustration level is pretty high anyway :-) I thought this was behind us but my 2.2.5-release box locked up occasionly, now it does it 70% of the time I try and use a CD. I actually thought it may have been the cd player. Then I put a cd into another box running 2.2.6-release and when I tried to umount /cdrom it locked up. After I tried to change to another console it beeped at me and rebooted :-( I may be unlucky and I am the only one this has happened to, I hope so but if not I would love to see it rectified. I have more info for any interested parties so if you want more detail please ask me. Unfortunately I do not have the time OR the kernel debugging skills to attack this in any meaningfull way.
