And a helpful hint - your posting would be easier on the eyes if you included only the error message itself. Having the entire logfile is all good, but if you could attach it instead of inlining all of it there might be more people willing to read your post. But once again, try linux-ide ;). I can also recommend that you download Maxtor's PowerMax utility and add it to your GRUB / LILO menu. Testing all your disks with PowerMax should give you reasonable reassurance that your drives, cabling and controller are OK. _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
