Perhaps it's not a disk error but a controller or driver error
More likely now.
I see I have in the logs:- kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status ==0x24 kernel: PDC202XX: Primary channel reset. kernel: hda: DMA interrupt recovery kernel: hda: lost interrupt This is what I got repeats of on the occasion it would not boot up. Is there any mileage in upgrading to 9.2, which has a different kernel? I tried the Live DVD recently and that worked fine, though of course I didn't check for any error messages. - Richard -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
