Re: hard drive problems... misconfiguration?
As promised here's the summary of a weird day:
-drive mentioned in my earlier discussion checked out completely 100% good
after repair done by dlgdiag (dos) program from WD
-managed to reduce hda: irq timeout messages to 2-3 during the dselect
process; quite a nice time improvement too
-swapped ide cables - no change
-brought cables and HDD to an K6-2 500 on an AOpen mobo, HDD is hda and
CDROM is hdb -> no irq messages, a perfect load!
Is it the Biostar mobo or is is the disk? I played with bios settings,
cables, and disks combinations all day.
At the end of the day, drive in question went belly-up. Nuts!
I took my remaining parts and built a machine (Biostar mobo and WD HDD) and
loaded another distro with 2.2.12 - no disk errors. I used dlgdiag on the
drive and found no problems.
I think I'll get an IBM HDD to replace the busted WD.
Is there any way that Debian could be at odds with the Biostar MoBo?
Should I just ignore those pesky messages? Where do those messages come
from? The kernel or some driver? Could it be a 2.2.19pre17 issue?
