I "moved" IDE HDD to other computer, and now I found under SuSE boot (in dmesg output) following messages:

hda: dma_intr status=0x5 {DriveReady SeekCompleteError} hda: dma_intr error=0x84 {Drive Status Error BadCRC}

This pair of messages repeate 4 times at the boot, and then there is

ide0: reset: success

hda (/dev/hda) is my SuSE HDD drive.

Does this messages means some hardware problem w/my HDD and how serious (i.e. should I awaiting HDD replacement in the nearly future?) ?

I checked (using badblocks read-only) all Linux (ext3fs and xfs) partitions on this HDD. There was no failure messages. Only dos and swap partitions are currently not checked (I don't know how to check swap partition else then dd /dev/hdx to /dev/null ?)

two problems on the horizon for you 1. heat ... have you starte smartd daemon to have a close eye on things 2. Bad IDE/ATA cable (tried it myself). Johan
