Possible problem with IDE device driver in kernel.

2001-07-01 Thread Philip V . Neves
I would like to report a bug that I've seen in a few linux kernels now. This may be a serious problem with the IDE controler software because it may cause a hard drive to ware out over a period of time. I've noticed for a long time that when linux is loaded the hard drive light on my computer

Ever since building this system there have been spontaneous and unpredictable lockups, usually at least once per day. Sometimes several per day. The lockup is sometimes preceded by X starting to display things strangely (on a Voodoo 3 w/XF 4.X). Then I have a few minutes to reboot before it
