Hi all...

Looking at tty10 where the error messages are I see this:

ide : failed opcode was : unknown hda : drive not ready for command ide0 : reset: success hda : irq timeout: status = 0x80 { Busy }

Should I worry about this? Is my brand new 80gb disk going bad?

Use S.M.A.R.T. (smartmontools) - it's easy and it pays off. Manufacturers accept SMART-errors as reason for RMA. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.de/freetrial - jetzt für 30 Tage ausprobieren - kostenlos und unverbindlich!
