A disk (apparently) went really bad - the system would hang during POST if it was plugged in. So, I got a new disk, got it formatted and restored from backup, and about the time I finished that process, it developed the same symptoms :-). Figuring it couldn't possibly really be bad so quick, I dug out a new sata cable and plugged it into a different sata connector on the motherboard, and Presto! The data I just restored was back, and the hangs went away. Just for good measure, I reformatted and restored again, and so far it is still working perfectly well. Now I feel like I need to plug the original disk back in to the new cable and connector and see if it is still there after all. If the onboard controller is going south, maybe I should get an add-on sata card and use it instead? (Or maybe it is time to use this as an excuse to get a new motherboard and faster CPU :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
