I've been staring at this error for months now and it sucks. It may be a flakey drive. It may be a dirtly CD-ROM. In my case it was shitty EIDE code in the kernel screwing up my VIA chipset (I think that's the name) (which is also shitty or even shittier I find out) and causing massive problems with data corruptions and really poor performance (7MB/s with a tail wind). downgrade the kernel to 2.4.18 or lower and this problem may go away. Alternatively, at least in theory, upgrade to 2.6.0-testX. But the entire 2.4.2x series has been horribly problematic for these motherboards and has been a real dissappointment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
