    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
