That seems very suspicious to me. Does it ever occur if > you are not in X ? I don't know but I can try it, later today. What is happening is that the movie I am watching with vlc (stored on the drive) stops playing and then the dmesg error comes up, and then it ether freezes X which it did a couple of times but I didnt get the dmesg because it was frozen and i wasnt expecting it, or I just need to restart the movie and it plays again(the error stuff mentioned in the dmesg above). Is there any other info I can provide you with? -Stoyan G > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
