Hello all-
Since upgrading to RH5, I started getting a rash of failures on my IDE
hard drive. (I also have SCSI drives...they give no problems). The error
messages seemed to indicate disk errors (inode inconsistencies, etc.) so I
bought a new hard drive and reinstalled. I still got errors after the
reinstall so I assumed that the IDE port on the motherboard was bad and I
replaced the motherboard (with one that I had been using on a Win95 system
for a couple of years with no problems). I was OK for a few days an this
morning I got:
irq timeout status=0x58 {Drive ready, seek complete, data request}
hda:disabled DMA
ide0:reset:success
At the same time I have another system that I upgraded recently, which
runs for a few hours, starts to get flakey (seg faults), then won't reboot
because it gets to the point in the reboot where it's trying to initialize
the ide drives and croaks. I would again assume a bad motherboard and/or
drive except for the problems I'm having with the other system.
Is there some problem with RH5 and IDE drives?
TIA
-Bill Page
