I did a fresh insatll of 3.1 on my a3k(d). I installed asimCDFS v3.1 just as I have in the past. I am using the same cd-rom I had used before. (i had the system running 3,9 with bb2 and rom update). No erros on install. wired thing is that when I boot up with a cd rom in the drive (os3.9) the machine frezes while mounting the asimCDFS! Also if I boot with no cdron instered the system works fine EXCEPT it wount mount ANY CDROMS. This system and hardware was working just fine befor I did the reinstall! I did a quick format on the sys drive and left eh work: partition tha way it was. (I don't want to loose EVERYTHING). Im realy frustrated, I just don;t understand why this going wrong.....I can't take anymore setbacks or reinstalls, please help.

nobody, no ideas?

My first thought is to try another CD-ROM. I've had CD-ROM drives go bad in all sorts of computer platforms and that's usually what they do.. freeze up when you try to access them.

will try... darn this would be the second one in a month! Funny it was working flawlessly days ago.
thanks!

Hi,
is your setpatch doing a ROMUPDATE ?
Try IDEFIX'97 drivers.

Its an A3000 so this would be a SCSI drive, right? Any chance the SCSI IDs got changed around before reinstalling? If not, I'd go with the previous suggestion and get a different drive.

it's now working, drive was fine. lot's of tinkering, imposible to tell what fixed it!
thanks,
