Hi George, I am having the same problem as you did. So installing ampd package didn't fix the problem? Just those crappy HDD problem? Upgrading kernel might fix this problem?
Hello, The problem is still there, although it does not occur very often (once every few months or so). The few machines that still have those HDDs have the latest Sarge 2.6.8-3 kernel, acpid, DMA disabled, drive power management disabled (through hdparm). To be honest though, we have swapped out the HDDs on most of them for Compact Flash cards and those machines they have been rock solid since. I don't know if the Etch / Sid kernels will fix this, as I never got around trying this out (being firewalls, running Stable is a requirement really). I probably should, since Etch is due in a few months. If you try this, feel free to let me know how it went.
