/dev/hdd irq timeout?
i've moved my /home to a separate drive (/dev/hdd6) and
noticed now and then as i did something in the home
directory tree, my session would appear to hang; about
twenty seconds later it'd wake back up.
the i noticed that the console had messages like this:
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdd: disabled DMA
ide1: reset: success
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide1: reset: success
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide1: reset: success
direction, anyone? what kind of things should i be looking
for -- or does this smell like a hardware failure?
