I have sent a similar message to the list before. But, I have a little more information. Relevant pieces of my config: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE ASUS P55TP4XE Primary EIDE Channel (master): 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Primary EIDE Channel (slave) : 1 1.2 Gig Samsung HD Secondary EIDE Channel (master): 1 Toshiba EIDE CD-ROM Drive Secondary EIDE Channel (slave) : Nothing I am having problems getting the Secondary Channel to be recognized. All bios settings are default except for geometries. As anybody with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive knows, you cannot define settings for the CD-ROM in the bios. I believe the bios is just concerned with fixed disk stuff. I have made a new kernel with the ATAPI option, a line for wdc1 right out of LINT and a line for wcd0 right out of LINT. Are there any other options I need to define? When the machine boots this is what happens: -Everything is probed fine until we get to the point where wdc1 is suppose to be detected. -The following message appears: wdc1 not found at (0x170) -My IDE activity LED lights up on the front of my box and never goes out. -Trying to eject the CD-ROM tray manually is futile. Nothing happens. -When I reboot the machine, everything returns to normal. (Until the FreeBSD kernel tries to look at my CD-ROM drive again) This happens with the standard kernel source for wd.c and Werner's patch that was posted. Can anybody shed some light on how I can get FreeBSD to use my CD-ROM drive? ---- On a more positive note: FreeBSD is doing just about everything I would like it to do for me. I have every device on my box configured and working wonderfully under FreeBSD. (Except this drive) Good work everyone. John Crosswhite crosswjo@cs.orst.edu
