Lines: 31 Message-ID: <3gfabj$m24@boris.eden.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: matrix.eden.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am having a problem with FreeBSD. I have two computers, one is a: 486sx/25 w/ 8 megs memory (ISA) 200MB Disk Space (IDE) NE2000 with i/o 300, irq 5 Panasonic Single Spin 6-Disk CDROM Changer Adaptec 1510 other is a: 486/33 w/ 16 megs memory (ISA) 345MB Disk Space (SCSI) NE2000 with i/o 300, irq 5 Panasonic Single Spin 6-Disk CDROM Changer Adaptec 1542B Both running FreeBSD-RELEASE (version 2.0) Both will run fine in all respects but will invariably panic after any intensive CDROM access. I have all the cdroms mounted, and they seem to work fine, but the kernel will panic every time after I try to access any fairly large file (800+ K).. I don't think the problem could be in hardware, because I have the same problem on both machines. Also, I have the timings set to 5.0 MB/Sec on both cards. I'm out of ideas- I used to run Linux, and the changers worked fine. Anyone know of any way to tweak the kernel to fix this? Thanks, Lee Feistel ferror@eden.com
