Thanks for the tip. Actually I should have been looking at syslog rather than messages because syslog does show the error: Apr 16 08:54:45 sonata kernel: ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x90000 action 0x2 frozen Apr 16 08:54:45 sonata kernel: ata1: hard resetting port Apr 16 08:54:45 sonata kernel: ata1: COMRESET failed (device not ready) Apr 16 08:54:45 sonata kernel: ata1: hardreset failed, retrying in 5 secs Apr 16 08:54:50 sonata kernel: ata1: hard resetting port Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: ata1: EH complete Apr 16 08:54:1 sonata kernel: SCSI device sda: 625142448 512-byte hdwr sectors (320073 MB) Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 Apr 16 08:54:51 sonata kernel: SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back -- David Grant http://www.davidgrant.ca
