Problem with hard drive
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.
