OK, I replaced the Hard drive for a new one,
It does not have any bad blocks or FS on it when I checked (using a
live cd and bad blocks like before), now when I install either debian
stable with 2.6.8 or Fedora Core 5, I'm getting
dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Then I re-run the same live cd with bad blocks, and still no bad
blocks where found ...
The hard drive is Hitachi HDS728080PLAT20 .
The motherboard is GigaByte P4 Titan (GA-8VM800PMD-775), and of curse Pentium 4.
IDE connectors using SATA cable.
I found some entries on Google, but such as
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=37451&highlight=hda+dmaintr+status+0x51+driveready+seekcomplete+error
But it does not seems to work for me (the change of hdparms).
Any suggestions, ideas ?
Maybe I'm missing a module that should be loaded ?
Thanks,
Ido

One could assume so.
Bad blocks are being reported when there are bad blocks. No more, no less.
It might be that the hard drive suffers from temperature problem, and starts
failing only after X hours of continues work. It might be that the disk is
failed right from the start, and the person with the NTFS (let me guess -
KSP?) had formatted the HD a quick format. Formatting it a slow format
should not leave bad blocks on the formatted data (as it cleans the bad
blocks out), but should leave a report saying such and such bad blocks were
found. It only takes time.

So I guess the problem is the HD ?

Hi,
The drive is SATA 1 (IDE with "special" cable).
As far as I found, it does supported under 2.6.8 (the default kernel
for debian stable in the 2.6 family).
