| Also, | the "cd0a: error reading" message is absent from the install logs. That, if anything, is a more promising sign I think.
Yes, this is, i think, the most important item. There were many times when "only a few" (or even only 1) read error occurred and the driver was able to retry and recover. Prior to this issue rising, I had never seen the cd0a: error message, so now that it has disappeared I would strongly feel that we've "fixed the bug". +------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee dot com | | Kernel Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at netbsd dot org | +------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------+
