What are sense key errors?? I looked in var/log/messages and when the box is left unattended, it seems to do some small cron job every 5 minutes (I guess some sort of file system maintennance) but nothing seems out of the ordinary. It shows that I rebooted the machine in the morning but it doesn't show that anything went nuts before or as I did that. > > > I have another controller (a BusLogic) that plugs into the PCI buss > > that I can also use instead of the on-board controller.

I might try to recompile my favorite kernel for the BusLogic controller but I'll still let it cook on the BusLogic controller overnight. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd Rather Be Sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
