Hi everyone, this is strictly speaking not a debian problem. I am using maxtor 9000 series harddisk with asus P3V4X via mother board using kernel 2.4.3.
I don't know what's really happening, but linux gives me an error message saying the harddisk is busy and not ready for command. and it keeps on saying that. system sort of freeze. the bios didn't recognize the harddisk (and the cdrom? don't know) after a warm boot. only cold boot make the bios recognize it again. the error usually happens when I was doing dselect upgrade. I am now sure if it has to do with bug about via in the kernel or it is about the 4 years old maxtor drive or some loose cable? is there a way I could debug the problem, can anyone help me... please Edwin Lau Edwin Lau ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
