Well, still no joy. :-(
I have tried booting from Boot-only, Disc1, LiveFS. Additionally, I've
tried the default boot, "with ACPI disabled", "Safe Mode", "single user
mode", and "verbose logging".
Every CD and every boot type gives me the exact same errors...
at the beginning:
...
acpi0: reservation of fee00000, 1000 (3) failed
acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed
acpi0: reservation of 100000, c7f00000 (3) failed
and at the end:
...
hptrr: no controller detected.
acd0: DVDROM <SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616F/F104> at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0: FAILURE READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x00
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is iso9660/FreeBSD_xxx (where xxx is the
disc I'm using).
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x00
*** HANG ***
BTW, the *** HANG *** requires a hard reset.
Also, I read some hearsay in other forums that the READ_BIG error could be
caused by the write speed when the ISO is burned to CD. So, I tried
downgrading the burn speed from 52x to 16x. No joy. It didn't change a
thing.
