Hi Dave,
I hooked up another WD drive WDC WD5002ABYS-02B1B0 from a
of the failing drive WDC WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0 to one of the failing
Is this the WD TLER problem/ripoff? The originals are 'desktop' while the replacement is 'enterprise'.
I have no clue about a desktop/enterprise difference. Where is such a list maintained? The faulty drives are directly shipped from HP with the z400 and xw4600 workstations.
He had no problems at all on 10.2 .
I verified that the problem is not triggered with 11.0 either.
Martin, at this point I really would suggest taking it to the linux-ide list.
You mean it is not appropriate for opensuse-kernel anymore?
Did you also try a new kernel?
Yes, I tried with OpenSUSE 11.4 DVD install just this morning. During the very first installation of OpenSUSE 11.4 on a problematic machine I got the following crash: [ 74.278186] EDD information not available.
