Hi Bart, > running into some error messages: > hdb: write_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > hdb: write_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned these yet, here are a few things you could check: i) Is there a power down of the drive through bios? ii) i have heard that if a PIO mode is specified that is too high for the drive, these errors can occur. hdparm (as root) can give you the defaults for your drive (from memory it's something like hdparm -i /dev/hdb, but I am miles away from my man pages ATM so pls check first) HTH Mark.
