I had these errors with two Seagate disks (850 MB, 2.3 GB) when they shared the _same_ IDE channel (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb). When the 2.3 GB disk was moved to the other channel (/dev/hdc) as _master_, the problem disappeared completely. The second disk tolerates an IDE CD-ROM as slave. (Kernel 2.0.36pre15, AMD K6-233, Soyo 5TF (?) Triton board). kws -- Dr. Karl-Wilhelm Schulte Bergische Universitaet-GH/HRZ (Computing Center) Gaussstr. 20 D-42097 Wuppertal (Germany) Tel. +49-202-4392807, Fax +49-202-4392910 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
