Dear Helpers: When I do manage to boot up my Fedora System, I get these remarks on the screen: [ 11.034216] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 21.050448] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 68.199577] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 78.235808] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 117.824319] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 127.860509] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 161.385877] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) [ 171.422106] ata5: COMRESET Failed (errno =-16) After that, the system goes ahead and boots. The next time, I get the same number of errors, but the numbers are different. Do I need to fix this? How?
That looks like a drive that's dying. Could be a CD or DVD drive that's having issues. To find out what device it is, try: # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Look for the stuff under "Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00". That should be the device. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
