Release 7.1 and READ_BIG error

J

JimC

With the discussion about 7.1 I am wondering if the READ_BIG issue has been resolved. I cannot boot the 7.0 install disc so am still running 6.3. For the record I have an Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard and an LG SATA DVD drive that is recognized as a GH20NS10. I have tried the media on a machine with an IDE CD drive and it works fine.
 
I think that you should send a report to the stable mailing list with all the info you can collect (complete error msgs, dmesg from 6.3, etc.)
 
Both those systems have SATA LG optical drives. I've experienced this as well, but only with that particular drive.
 
I hope they do because it's killing me in here ...

The only way out I found of a "READ_BIG" is:

Code: 
Dec 13 19:56:28 inferna kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label iso9660/fbsd7-11092008 removed.
Dec 13 19:57:02 inferna kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
Dec 13 19:57:29 inferna reboot: rebooted by root
 
Yep, same error here. Workaround that worked for me: Boot from cd, remove cd after kernel is loaded, Read big error occurs when its probing devices, if no cd is inserted, then there is no error. (or use ide drive) i think it made a same error with samsung drive. do a regular ftp/network install. haven't tried my lg sata drive after that though. Sata controller is intel ich9r. Tried every knob from bios and some boot time tunables, but that was only solution how i could install freebsd 7 on my box.

edit: i have exactly the same LG GH20NS10 drive.
 
Sad thing is that:

Code: 
Dec 13 19:56:28 inferna kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label iso9660/fbsd7-11092008 removed.
Dec 13 19:57:02 inferna kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
Dec 13 19:57:29 inferna reboot: rebooted by root

happens once the system is up and running and I insert a DVD that may have a backup or a movie or whatever .. :S
 
I have TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S230Q and no problems with 6.4, 7.0, 7.1-beta2 and 8.0-current. Actually I had general problems but they were gone after firmware upgrade.
 
Sorry to revive an old thread but the workaround worked perfectly for me. I have the same board with an LG IDE DVD+RW drive. Thanks for the helpful post!
 
After upgrading to 7.2-RELEASE, I began to get the messages you have gotten, "GEOM_LABEL, acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00" and several more in similar fashion.

I get those messages even when I only open and close the CD-Tray, without putting any CD at all!

While using 6.4-RELEASE on the same computer I never had such an issue. GEOM Framework seems responsible for this.

Any ideas to get rid of those error messages?
