Hm. After some time sitting on vt1 I see messages appearing:
ata1.01: cmd a0/00:00:00:0c:00/00:00:00:00:00/b0 tag 0 pio 12 in
ata1.01: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata1.01: cmd a0/00:00:00:08:00/00:00:00:00:00/b0 tag 0 pio 8 in
ata1.01: status: {status: {DRDY ERR }
This repeats at some interval. Some googling suggests that the drive
is seeing errors on the interface, but this disk normally boots
windows without complaint.
Just to add some background info, booting into Windows I see a c:
drive where the system is installed and d: for backup. At least one of
these is fat32 formatted. The system is heavily compromised so I'm
trying to run clamav, seeing as my ltsp server is a little more robust
than the laptop running a live cd.
Thanks again,
