Hi,
During boot-up (SuSE-8.1) I always have the two next lines:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x051 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error:0x841 { DriveStatus Error BadCRC }
If anybody can tell me what could be the problem?
I had a Maxtor that did this...it died a short time later. The only saving grace in what happened was it was the root drive and my home directory was on a seperate drive. I would do a backup of your data as soon as possible and then download any utils that the drive maker may have to test it. -- Linux User #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."

Ben, I doubt it is the case here. I think this patch explains much what's going on: http://lwn.net/Articles/21923/ Look at this piece: + /* + * if a cache flush fails, disable ordered write support + */ + if (rq->cmd_flags & (RQ_WRITE_PREFLUSH | RQ_WRITE_POSTFLUSH)) { + struct request *real_rq = rq->special; + + /* + * best-effort currently, this ignores the fact that there + * may be other barriers currently queued that we can't + * honor any more + */ + if (err) { + printk("%s: cache flushing failed. disable write back cacheing for journalled file systems\n", drive->name); + blk_queue_ordered(&drive->queue, QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE); + } Drive is not going to fail, it just does not support cache flush Regards, -Kastus

well, I still think it should be checked. I had errors like these and the drive did fail with much noise and fanfair. :) -- Linux User #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."

I agree. I did have a failure (with much noise) of Fujitsu drive too :) But in this case, the error message pops up just once, on boot, never after, and SMART long test returns no errors. Go figure... Regards, -Kastus

It has lots of harddisk test programs from the main drive manufacturers - Try it out, it may help you determine what is going on. It may be that your drive is "going south" and may need to be replaced - the ultimatebootcd should help to determine that :) Hope this helps. Jon

Another problem can be that your powersupply can't keep up with all the stuff you put into you PC (hardware) - results in wierd behaviour too. Johan
Hope this helps.

I recently upgraded from 8.1 to 9.0 Professional on my desktop, and I've got two problems. First, alt-tab no longer switches between applications the way it used to It brings up the application list (the box of application icons that appears on center screen) and walks through them correctly, but when I release the keys, it does not actually switch to the chosen application. Instead, the application list stays onscreen and nothing else happens. If I hit TAB or RETURN, it will actually switch to the new chosen app, but why do I need the extra keystroke? Second, automount does not appear to be enabled by default. I attempted to install it using YAST; it finds the autofs and autofs-4 packages but, when I try to install them, I get the following error: I have verified that automount IS installed, and I can probably get it configured manually, but that doesn't help when I'm trying to talk a nontechnical relative through it on the phone. Any ideas on what the problem is? For the record--after the above failed, I successfully installed the km-submount package, but even though it installed successfully, it did not end up actually enabled and running, which doesn't help very much. My machine is a PII 300Mhz, 128M RAM. My next step will be to uninstall autofs etc and then reinstall, as maybe they are interfering with one another; I just haven't had time yet. --Dks
