Usually the kind of errors you are seeing means that your hard disk is diying... Take a backup asap! I think that if you search through the archives of this mailing list you find several messages with this concerns and also more technical answers HIH Bye, Gianluca -----Original Message----- From: Matt Dickinson [mailto:lists@alpha345.com] Sent: giovedì 20 marzo 2003 0.34 To: ext3-users@redhat.com Subject: Kernel drive_cmd error messages Hi I realise this isn't strictly ext3 related, but I'm trying to find the meanings to some error messages that have started appearing in /var/log/messages on a RH73 system after a recent kernel upgrade (from 2.4.18-19.7 to 2.4.18-27.7). The kernel itself hasn't been modified, and is the stock RH release. The error messages in question are: Mar 19 23:21:26 spike kernel: hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Mar 19 23:21:26 spike kernel: hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } I've tried finding a suitable resource on the web detailing what the messages mean, can anyone provide a link to a useful resource? Thanks in advance, Matt _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
