Today I restarted my SuSE 8.2 box and a red message came up : "'failed". I looked in the startup log and below you can see the result. Although there seems to be nothing wrong , I'm still curious to find out what and why this message came up. Anybody an idea?
This is from hdparm. It looks like, you're starting it automatically while booting, but with wrong arguments. Maybe /etc/init.d/boot.local ?

Ok thanks for that. Just recently I have changed DMA to "on", manually by putting on between the quotation marks. Can this have anything to do with it? I haven't changed anything in the boot process ( not that I know of anyway). I also have used "hdparm -v /dev/dvd" and then "hdparm -X <udma mode> -d 1 /dev/dvd. Could it be that the udma mode is set wrong? Thanks for your help, including Charles and del. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.
