Hi I am getting the followiing errors on a system that has been running without any problems for a couple of months. When booting I sometimes get error 0x01 or error 0x02 and the systems hangs during boot up . If the system comes up without errors I get the followiing while the system is at the login prompt. hda: drive not ready for command hda: status error: status 0x80 ide0: reset success. does anyone know what this problem indicates. My system is a AMD pentium mother board,, I have a 4gig western digitial harddrive, and I am running redhat 4.1. fdisk info is disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 523 cylinders. the boot sector info is /dev/hda1 1 1 20 168618 83 Linux native. does anyone have any ideas.
