Hello!
I am using FreeBSD on my laptop as a desktop OS. I am quite pleased by
its - the FreeBSD's - general reliability. I was using 5.2.1 previously
too, I've upgraded to 5.3-STABLE in the middle of the December 2004.
Few days later I noticed that I cannot mount any of my CD ROMs anymore.
When I do:
#mount -t cd9600 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom
there drive spins up, its LED gets on, and ... nothing happens for some
time. Simultaneously I can observe messages on the console such as:
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
(yes, seven times), and then the mount commands answers
"cd9660: /dev/acd0: Input/output error"
Here's the drive name as returned by dmesg:
acd0: CDRW <TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314> at ata1-master UDMA33
Here's the sysctl settings for ATA:
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1
hw.ata.wc: 1
hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1
Here's the atacontrol "list" output for channel 1:
ATA channel 1:
Master: acd0 <TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
Slave: no device present
Here's the atacontrol "mode" output for channel 1:
Master = UDMA33
Slave = BIOSPIO
The machine is Toshiba Satellite 1405-S151.
I am using a custom kernel, but the generic kernel distributed on the
bootable ISO image had exactly the same problem, when it came do acd0
initialization. In my kernel config file I have:
# ATA and ATAPI devices
device ata
device atadisk # ATA disk drives
device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives
options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering
The CD-ROMs I am trying to mount are:
1) burned (yes, I read this list's archive before asking the question);
2) these are data CD's with ISO filesystem on them;
3) these CDs are burned properly (Windows XP on the same machine has no
problem mounting them; more over, FreeBSD 5.2.1 running on the same
machine had no problem mounting them);
What can I do to get the drive working?
Thanks,
KMK
