Any idea whats causing this? kernel: hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE kernel: hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE kernel: hda: lost interrupt kernel: hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE kernel: hda: status error: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE kernel: hda: DMA disabled kernel: ide0: reset: success also: kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: lost interrupt kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: DMA disabled kernel: ide0: reset: success and, kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: lost interrupt kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } kernel: hda: DMA disabled kernel: ide0: reset: success Its a 32 G drive on a TP 21.
