I just installed SuSe 8.1 on my dual-celeron pc. The install was easy and everything seemed to work perfectly. Then I tried to access the disk with the homedirectories on, /dev/hdb4. Mounting works, accessing some files work. But after a while the system hang and doesn't respond at all. I've checked the logs (mostly /var/log/messages) but haven't found anything. The working drive, hda, is an old IBM 6.4GB disk and the non working drive is a Seagate Barracuda IV 60GB. I tried varius dma settings for hdb but the results are the same. Any hints, clues or solutions to my problem? -- Henrik Karlsson | www.henriks.org Studying Automation Engineering | ICQ: UIN 2785561 at Chalmers University of Technology | +46-707-99 50 31 "Coughlin's law - anything else is always something better."
