Hi all, Hopefully an easy question. I have a dodgy 2nd hard disk which I can't remove for the moment. On bootup I get a million error messages like this: device hdb1, logical block 1 hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=65, high=0, low=65, sector=65 ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, sector 65 Buffer I/O error on device hdb1, logical block 2 hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=65, high=0, low=65, sector=63 ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, sector 63
Eventually bootup gets through this but now booting takes about 15 minutes. Is there anything in the startup routine that I can alter so that the system ignores /dev/hdb? /dev/hda is fine and that's where my system resides. I tried disabling the 2nd hard disk from the bios but that didn't seem to have any effect. Thanks for any help on this matter.
