Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4ju7lq$qgj@europa.frii.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: deimos.frii.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] There are plenty of questions in the archive on the website, but not many answers. My ATAPI IDE CD-ROM is configured as master on the secondary line, and I have enabled ATAPI and wcd0 in my kernel configuration file, and rebuilt the kernel: > controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr > disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 > > controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr > disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 > > options ATAPI > device wcd0 I've done some debugging and inside the wcdattach() call, atapi_request_immediate() is returning 1: the operation failed. So the atapi code to check what kind of device it is is returning 5 (CDROM), it just isn't able to *talk* to it. I have a Hitachi FX400 IDE quad speed drive, on a brand spanking new "Clincher" PC (Intel Pentium at 99Mhz and all). Not a spec of SCSI anywhere on the machine. I'm using 2.1.0-RELEASE. Any and all help greatly appreciated, Nat
