[wellylug] new hard disk problems

[Mark Signal]

An update for those who took the time to respond

Nothing other than disabling dma got rid of the problem -

Jun 11 11:11:21 ds2 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }
Jun 11 11:11:21 ds2 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError
BadCRC }
Jun 11 11:11:21 ds2 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }

SeekComplete Error }
Jun 11 11:11:21 ds2 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError
BadCRC }

however replacing the motherboard did fix it. I will test the original
motherboard with another disk when I get time.

thanks to all who responded.

cheers
