hi folks,

atarting up wheezy with ah standar kernel i get:

This page might be useful to you
https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages

According to that, your ATA port #7 threw an exception. Emask 0x10 is
AC_ERR_ATA_BUS (ATA bus error). Action 0xe says this happened during
reset (ATA_EH_RESET).

If the drive works normally, other than this, it may just be a case of
the drive being slow to reset. SATA is all hot-pluggy and dynamic so,
when the drive does start up, the kernel will notify udev and the drive
will get mounted etc.


i waited a week to put this question to you<; what is wrong?? the
machine with 3 hdś in it still starts normally: no trouble at all.
first i thought it was a dying HD. so i bought a brandnew barracuda
on which i installed the wheezy-kernel, ark xorg etc to get a lean
installation (a method/way that works faultless since potato).
the same alarming protests showed by starting up the wheezy-
installation on the new barracuda. weird i think. i loosened of
course the other two hd's in the machine

so i guess it is not a dying disk, but what is it than??

i googled and got a lot of somewhat confusing information.

in the meantime the computer is still working faultless. i am
confused and slightly annoyed because our entire business
bookkeeping is on the hd's. (i made backups now of course)

maybe somebody of you knows something more on this. perhaps a kernel
bug? never seen something like this before.

thank you on the beforehand

regards,

steef

thank you darac. this is informative. yet it does not declare the 'why' of what is happening. therefore i am happy with your comment: hd's starting up to slow. yet i wonder why this is only with this distro wheezy on this machine. i never had this kind of (imgainary) trouble before. the same as the problem with usb sticks, mounting only under root. all previous debian distroos did not react that way: with other words: reacted 'normally'.


regards,

steef
