Well, I downloaded and started a fresh 2006.1 livecd, repartitioned de
hdd, started mke2fs and this time with the -c option.
So, it started checking and after about 15 minutes this kept on showing
up
on my screen:
ata1: error=ox40 {uncorrectable error} ata1: translated ATA stat/err
0X51/40 SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04
after a while i got a couple of other messages, and now it keeps on
talking about Buffer I/O error on device sda3, and after that various
sectors and blocks are called.
I did look after my power supply and I'm for 99% sure that's not the
problem. So, correct me if i'm wrong but that would mean my harddisk is
the problem? But how than is it possible that I can use it normally if I
don't let fsck check it?
I know this isn't really gentoo specific anymore, but if anyone knows
what
to do i'm happy to hear it.
