Hello, I recently bought a new 40gb laptop HD to replace my old 20gb one. Now I'm having hard lockups that I've never seen before. Does anyone know if a new HD is a likely culprit?
My laptop: IBM Thinkpad R31 Celeron 1133mhz 384 mb ram (upgraded from 128mb) 40 gb hd (upgraded from 20gb) Intel 830/810/whatever video chipset I've had very good stability with this laptop in the past, but now these lockups are baffling me. I didn't change much: I replaced the old 20gb hd with the new Seagate one, I transferred the contents to the new one, with the help of my PC as an intermediate temp storage device. I then recompiled my kernel to support reiserfs, as I changed from JFS (this is a terrible fs IMO, don't use it). (I won't post the method I used to migrate the data, its pretty convoluted and I can't rule out any problems caused by this, but I think everything's okay, I just want to know if anyone can tell me whether or not the HD could be causing this problem) Right now I'm using the generic PIIx chipset driver, should I be using a different IDE driver? Does anyone else have this laptop that can post their kernel config (preferably a 2.6.x config)? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks much, -Mike. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
