It's time to resurrect this thread from way back in June. The
problem in the subject line has reared its ugly head again, but this
time with a twist that makes it much worse. A little refresher on
what was happening back then. Every so often the root file system
would be remounted read-only, with the error in the subject line
appearing over and over again on the console.
Lately, this has been happening every 10-14 days, and I would have to
reboot my system. Since the root file system was not writable, no
error messages were logged in /var/log/messages. So I configured
syslog to write messages to another system as well, and this time I
have captured some errors (see below). BTW, this is a SATA drive.
What makes it much worse this time, is that the system won't boot!
When I try to boot now I get the following error over and over again:
ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
HELP! Is there anything I can do to recover this system?
Alfred
