I have been having problems with my hard drive with Slink on it putting out the following errors and hanging:
Dec 3 22:14:14 xyf kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Dec 3 22:14:14 xyf kernel: ide0: reset: success Dec 3 22:14:24 xyf kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Dec 3 22:14:24 xyf kernel: ide0: reset: success I've posted about this before and see there is lots of info about these errors. I've checked cables and so on. I had this problem with another HD and replaced with this brand new one. I don't have any trouble with my Windows side so I was thinking I could try to swith the two HDs to see if I could get the HD with Slink on it to work better. My HD with Windows on it is hda the master drive. Slink is on the slave drive hdb. They are both on the same cable. My question is how do I swap the HDs on the cable so Slink would be hda and windows hdb? In other words how do I get my system to boot directly off hda (which it does now) but boot the Slink drive? What do I have to do to the Slink drive before I switch them physically? Here is my /etc/lilo.conf boot = /dev/hda delay = 50 image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hdb1 label = slink other = /dev/hda1 label = 95 table = /dev/hda Thanks, kent
