The card is initialized and comes up ok. It probes the bus, finds the CDrom and creates the cd0 at bootup. However, when trying to mount the CD (an ISO-9660) the CDRom activates.. I hear it whirr a little and then I see: cd0(aic0:1:0): timed out Nov 9 23:51:50 ctx /kernel: cd0(aic0:1:0): timed out This repeats until I open the CD-Rom. The CDRom runs and runs (with the busy light on) until I open it up. I've done everything I can think of. Checked termination, lowered bus rate, increased the SCSI-wait time in the kernel. No matter what I do I can't get it to mount the CD. I also get a message when booting that the cd0 device is in transition from not-ready to ready. After reading the news archives a bit I came to the conclusion that I should ignore this... Am I right in thinking that? I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5 with the aic6360 code stolen from FreeBSD-stable (via aic6360.c) Any help and pointers would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jay K.
