I installed Debian 2.2 on a Gateway PC (PII-233) with no prbolems, and
it's been running fine. However, it just recently ran out of disk space
for some reason. Uppon investigation, I found that the /var/log dir was
HUGE, specifically the kern.log file. I removed all the files and
rebooted the machine. The kern.log file is continually growing in
size. When i look at it, I see this over and over again:
Feb 7 20:22:54 Dale kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device
ide1(22,0)
Feb 7 20:22:54 Dale kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 {

Feb 7 20:22:55 Dale kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
I've shut down syslog so I can run the machine, but what is causing
these errors? It just started out of the blue. It's running kernel
2.2.16 (about to be upgraded to 2.4.1), but I'd like to know what is
causing this. Anyone know? How do I fix it? TIA.
