I am using Ubuntu 6.10 live for PPC. Unfortunately, the Debian-live Etch CD does not work (maybe because I have a G5) Under Ubuntu, the problem is the same. I unfortunately can not tell if it already happened before because the last time I used it was to partition the disk in order to install Etch. Importantly, I was able to work all day with Mac OS X Tiger, without having drive problems. (It is installed on the same drive). I tried to test the memory and found notihing. Somme applications, namely NeoOffice, Adium, iTerm and Camino crash a lot, and what they have in common is that I updated them yesterday. However, I also updated Thunderbird, and it does not crash. Under Linux, disk error are found on the 20th of August, after the machine was off for a week, and the real problems started the 27th, where the disk was remounted ro by the system (The machine was off for the weekend). I am really clueless about what happened. On internet, I could read advices about recompiling the kernel with multimode option, but even if I would do this on another ppc machine, how could I install it if I can not mount the drive rw? > > Aug 28 02:52:47 ubuntu kernel: [ 498.947455] ata1: status=0x51 { > > DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > > Aug 28 02:52:47 ubuntu kernel: [ 498.947461] ata1: error=0x40 { > > UncorrectableError } > > Aug 28 02:52:53 ubuntu kernel: [ 505.091286] ata1: translated ATA stat/err > > 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04 > > > > I am wondering it my hard drive is dying or if it is another hardware > > problem... > > Based on this alone, I would say that your disk is dying.
