Exactly the same problem here on a Debian SID system (I do know that this is a Ubuntu bug-forum. However, we are relatives, right :-))
Kernel: 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP here´s a cut from my syslog kernel: hda: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } kernel: hda: status error: error=0x00 { } kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown kernel: hda: drive not ready for command dev/hda/ ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media Model Number: BENQ DVD DD DW1620 Serial Number: Firmware Revision: B7W9 Two identical sata drives are conneted as well dev/sda and /dev/sdb /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: SAMSUNG HD501LJ Serial Number: S0MUJ13P220357 Firmware Revision: CR100-10 Transport: Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5 At the moment I use the solution suggested by pvdeynse (hdparm -w1 /devhda). I would be interested to know what´s causing these error messages and how to get rid of them without a drive reset after boot. cheers, cafeschintze -- [hardy] kernel 2.6.24-3-generic #1 SMP --> ide cdrom hdc: status error: error=0x00 { } https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
