I did some stupid newbie things:
I have 2 cdroms, a plextor 8/4/32A and a 50x aopen cdrom.
I added the line hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" to loader.conf The plextor now uses WDMA2 The aopen cdrom still uses PIO4 (dma worked under wintendo 2000)
After I tried to enable DMA (using atacontrol) on my aopen cdrom and mounted it, the system crashed (freebsd 4.9-RELEASE)
result :
During the reboot i got an error and had to run "fsck"
I did, and answered yes to all the questions. (kinda stupid, I know)
The system booted but startx couldn't find /var/log/XFree86.0.log It seems that /var/log was completely removed
mkdir log in /var solved the problem
What else can I expect after a file system inconsistency ?
And how do I solve the cdrom DMA problem ?
