Start by ensuring that you really do have an 80-wire cable in place and not the older 40-wire variants which aren't supported for UDMA 100 devices.

From reading the rest of your dmesg output, I think it's /proc/ide/via for your system. > hda: 117231408 sectors (60022 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=7297/255/63, UDMA(100) > Partition check: > hda:hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } > hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } > hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } > hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } These are not normal for a hard drive. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
