Hello, My Redhat Enterprise 3 just started to freeze and I'm trying to find out what is the cause. I've looked at my server logs and it appears there seems to be a few problems which I don't know how to correct. Here are the few items I've noticed: 1. The kernel complains about an unknown partition table in my 1 and only IDE HD: Aug 21 11:15:49 server22 kernel: Partition check: Aug 21 11:15:49 server22 kernel: hde: unknown partition table Not sure how to fix this but I know I had a lot of diffucilties trying to install this drive about a month ago. The problem was me...I'm a newbie in the linux world and couldn't figure out how to add a new HD to the system. ;-) 2. Server complains about modprobe, not sure if this is a serious problem: Aug 21 11:17:55 server22 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-134 3. MTRR error about write-combining not supported: Aug 21 11:17:56 server22 kernel: mtrr: Serverworks LE detected. Write-combining disabled. Aug 21 11:17:56 server22 kernel: mtrr: your processor doesn't support write-combining 4. My Plextor CD/DVD R/RW errors: Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: hda: packet command error: error=0x44 Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: ATAPI device hda: Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: Error: Hardware error -- (Sense key=0x04) Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: Tracking servo failure -- (asc=0x09, ascq=0x01) Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: The failed "Test Unit Ready" packet command was: Aug 21 11:18:08 server22 kernel: "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " 5. Also, my IDE hard drive keeps giving me this error message: Aug 22 02:57:50 server22 kernel: hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 Aug 22 02:58:00 server22 kernel: hde: error waiting for DMA The IDE drive is installed in a mixed system of IDE and SCSI HDs. I also keep getting this error message anytime I try to run fdisk on the drive: # fdisk -l /dev/hde Disk /dev/hde: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table Can anyone please help with any of the above items?
