>Description:
OK, here we go :((  I have two of those CD-C68E changers attached as
mas/sla of secondary channel on my Gigabyte GA-6OXET motherboard, which
has Intel ICH2 ATA100 controller onboard.  Occasionally, I need to copy
contents of 12 CDROMs (inserted into the changers) to SMBFS-mounted share.
It takes about 2.5 hours to complete, that is, about 25 minutes per CD.
The CDs are cd9660 data ones, but I think it does not matter much here.
When I look at console, I get several of these from kernel:

acd6-11: READ_BIG - ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=21 ascq=00 error=04
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 47621 (cp)

They are coming from both acd6-11 and acd0-5, with about the same
frequency.  I've had this problem before, on GA-6OXT motherboard, with
[different] ICH ATA66 controller, exactly the same thing.

However, changers seem to work just fine.  They did so on the GA-6OXT
under Windoze NT 4.0, and they do work perfectly under FreeBSD-STABLE,
but on AMD/VIA hardware instead of Intel.  I don't think I can blame
the CD changers for misbehavior.  The bug(?) occurs both on STABLE as
of prior to Mar 16 (Soren's ATA commit); I've last had it on STABLE as
of Dec 6, 2001, and afterwards build.  What worries me most, it's that I
really don't have an idea whether it's caused by software or hardware
failure.
>How-To-Repeat:
I think I've told you enough in "Description" section already ;-)
>Fix:
None known to me.  If you need any debug info, I think I might get
some, however, it's a production box, so I can't stress it real hard
and for real long periods of time for experiments.  Those messages are
not comming when you just summon them :-(
