Hi Jens, Since you helped me out before, I'm going to ask for some more help ;-)
I just recently purchased a new workstation from HP, and after fighting with getting grub2 working the way I want, I kicked off a ktest run to create a true min config. It basically disables options from the .config file until it finds a .config that that boots but will fail if you disable any of the configs that are set. Anyway, in the middle of this test, I started getting these nasty ata errors again (like the ones I got with the failed HD that you helped me out with on G+). But this is a brand new spanking machine (with a new HD), but I could have gotten a lemon. Anyway, the full dmesg is at: http://rostedt.homelinux.com/private/bxtest-ata-fail-dmesg And here's a smartctl dump: [root@bxtest ~]# smartctl --all /dev/sda smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-3.5.5-custom] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Blue Serial ATA Device Model: WDC WD5000AAKX-60U6AA0 Serial Number: WD-WCC2EF801545 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 25ccb70a0 Firmware Version: 18.01H18 User Capacity: 500,107,862,016 bytes [500 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Tue Nov 13 17:48:40 2012 EST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Is this HD a lemon (need to return it?) or did something else go wrong that is fixable.
