I suggest you boot with the rescue system and run badblocks. If you are using ext2/3 you can just run fsck with the -c option, that will run badblocks and mark them in one go. If you are using Reiserfs, sorry I can't help you. You can run hdparm with the -D1 option in both cases to see if it helps. If there are no badblocks, you can try turning dma off with hdparm -d0 and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, It is reiser, and there is a reiserfsck program that I've been manning that I can use to check for bad blocks ala fsck. Does booting in safe mode mount all partitions read-only? Some of the reading I've done on google for this error indicate that it could be a simple IDE cabling problem, or it could be a bad drive... RE: zentera's post, I'm not running Windohs on this drive, just SuSE, so that's not an issue, thanks for the suggestion though. Josh
