The following reply was made to PR kern/139653; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, cowens@greatbaysoftware.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/139653: READ_BIG sluggish ata CD/DVD performance on HP DL360 G5 Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 07:44:31 -0500 One thing to note is that the boot loader just uses BIOS calls to load the kernel off of the CD, so if that is taking a long time that implies that the delay is in the BIOS or perhaps in the hardware at that stage. Given that, it may be that the CD drive in this machine is slow due to some controller/hardware issue. That doesn't explain the READ_BIG errors (though perhaps they could be related, but there isn't anything that indicates to prove or disprove that that I can see). -- John Baldwin
