Hardware: PC Asus / Athlon processor OS : FreeBSD 4.7, GENERIC kernel During the boot, I read in syslog messages: ata1-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded ad0: 19546MB <FUJITSU MPG3204AH E> [39714/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 acd0: CD-RW <YAMAHA CRW2200E> at ata1-master PIO4 So the hard drive is primary master, the CD is secondary master.
The CD works since I can mount data CD. It works under Linux with cdrecord. I can write CD-RW with: burncd -f /dev/acd0c blank burncd -f /dev/acd0c data MY_ISO_IMAGE fixate But with a CD-R the same (second) command fails and /var/log/messages says: Nov 15 14:56:58 tempo2 /kernel: acd0: SEND_OPC_INFO command timeout - resetting Nov 15 14:56:58 tempo2 /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. ata1-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded Nov 15 14:56:58 tempo2 /kernel: done Just once; what's about "ATAPI identify retries exceeded'? There's nothing slave! Than, with a loop: Nov 15 14:57:56 tempo2 /kernel: acd0: SEND_OPC_INFO command timeout - resetting Nov 15 14:57:56 tempo2 /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done Nov 15 14:59:13 tempo2 /kernel: acd0: SEND_OPC_INFO command timeout - resetting Nov 15 14:59:13 tempo2 /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. done Any hint?
