Yesterday afternoon, my box started to emit beeps: <meep> <meep> ... 30 sec silence ... <meep> <meep> ... etc...
And hda was gone. After a reboot, all went fine again.
And today, while emerging, the following message appeared on the console:
maison kernel: journal-601, buffer write failed
emerging continued, no problem. but all my other shells got stucked. I couldn't open new sshells.
I'm away from my computer, so I don't know if it's beeping.
hda being /home, I tried to log in my box as root. worked. and here is what I found in /var/log/kern.log

(HD is
Sep 8 09:14:22 maison kernel: hda: Maxtor 5T060H6, ATA DISK drive
Sep 8 09:14:22 maison kernel: hda: 120103200 sectors (61493 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=7476/255/63, UDMA(100)
)
Is my HD screwed? Could it be gentoo's fault? What can I do, beside cry for my lost datas and buy a new hd?
First, backup the data on hda. Then, try a different IDE cable. If that doesn't work, try putting a spare drive (if you have one) on that particular cable in place of the screwy one. If it still acts up then its the controller. If you plug the IDE cable directly into the motherboard, your motherboard is dying.
