I'm having problems with my ATAPI cdrom.  I'm running 2.1.5.

It's a NEC configure as 'single' on my secondary IDE controller.
(My hard drives are all SCSI.)

Here's the probe output:

  wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
  wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <NEC                 CD-ROM DRIVE:272/4.15>, removable,
  iordy
  wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 256Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray
  wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked

Okay, so I mount the 2.1.5 install CD:

  # mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

Then I can move around in the CD (change directories, that is) without any
problems.  However, whenever I go to access a large file I get this:

  # pkg_add emacs-19.31.tgz
  # Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase
  Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase
  Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: wcd0: i/o error, status=0, error=1<ili>
  Aug 28 22:29:47 philip /kernel: wcd0: i/o error, status=0, error=1<ili>

And then the drive is unusable.

The drive works fine under DOS.
And if it makes a difference to anyone, I also happen to have a 2.2-SNAP from
June, and this release doesn't exhibit this behavior.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
