Re: ide error : {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest}

[adavis@netpci.com]

I get a similar message, but each time it's just a nuisance---the reset
succeeds and the disk goes on reading.  I happens in X or on the console,
and only once every couple of days, usually during a long disk access.

I have 

   ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard
   32 MB Micron 50ns EDO (in 2 16MB simms)
   W Dig Caviar 1.6G HDD, master on ide0 (first ide channel)
   
My cdrom is an ATAPI Toshiba 4X, and it is somehow configured as /dev/hdc.
Dunno why.

Luckily I haven't had to reboot.  I'd like to know what's up though.
