>Number: 94417 >Category: conf >Synopsis: GENERIC kernel should include atapicam >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Mar 13 18:50:20 GMT 2006 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Dieter >Release: 6.0 >Organization: >Environment: 6.0-RELEASE amd64 >Description: The GENERIC kernel should include atapicam. This is needed to burn DVDs. Given the price difference between tape drives and DVD drives, I suspect that most SOHO sites use DVDs for backups rather than tape. Including atapicam would save these sites from having to build a custom kernel to do backups. >How-To-Repeat: Try to burn a DVD using a GENERIC kernel. >Fix: Add the line device atapicam # needed to burn dvd to the GENERIC config file of applicable machines. Feel free to improve the comment. :-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
