I've recently installed Debian, and mostly it's been great, but
recently I've run into trouble with my hard drive. It started out when
the hard drive was under heavy load - my mouse pointer was still
responsive, but otherwise the computer locked up.
When I rebooted, it repeatedly printed the following error message to
the screen:
hda task_out_intr: status 0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda task_out_intr: error 0x10 { SectorIdNotFound } LBAsect=78866415
sector=78866416
It will always do this on reboot, until I boot a Knoppix CD once. I
don't have to do anything in Knoppix, just boot and shutdown, and after
that my system will boot normally again. However, if I do something
involving heavy load on the hard drive (copying a CD of MP3s to disk,
or playing Puzzle Pirates (a java-based MMORPG)) will cause it to lock
up in the same way.
I would resign myself to having to get another hard drive, except that
it seems to work fine in Knoppix, so I cling to hope. Thanks in
advance for any help you can give me.
Steve
