Hello Thomas, I'm having an issue with atapicam. Loading the kernel module doesn't create /dev/cd* as expected but seems to have a serious impact on system performance. Compiling it into the kernel causes the boot to hang after detecting acd0 and acd1 (although after reading the mailing list, this may not actually be a hang, but a slowdown, where I'd just have to let it sit 15 minutes - I haven't waited that long). Looking through the freebsd-stable mailing list, it seems that this issue has come up before: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-stable&m=114302548927632&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-stable&m=114371352507049&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-stable&m=114372945516655&w=2 This seems to be the exact same issue that I'm having. Since those threads are from March 2006, and I'm running FreeBSD-6.2-PRERELEASE, it appears that the problem has not yet been fixed, so I'd like to ask you to have another look at it. If you need more debugging data, I'll be happy to provide as much as I can, just tell me what you need. Cheers Benjamin

Can you provide complete traces with CAM debugging options enabled? please include boot -v output. Thomas.
Thomas, do you think this could be related to the problem I atapi_cam slowing my machine down to an unuseable state? &n Thanks Adam.
