I installed RH9 on a new machine on April 1 (big mistake, I hear you). The hardware is Krypton board, 128 MB RAM, 40 GB Seagate Barracudda. On boot, it spits out reams of these messages, at the end of which the system resets the HDD and continues to boot normally:
kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }The system is running slower than expected, but no other visible problems. I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this problem and resolved it, and if there can be data corruption if the machine is run in this state.
The second problem is networking through Samba with Win 98 machines. Samba is the domain master browser and Win 98 machines are set up for multiple users. The network is fixed IP over a tcp/ip hub. The Linux machine accesses shares on Win machines OK. From a Win machine, the Linux box shows up OK in Network Neighbourhood, with the correct server string. But if you click on it, up pops a dialog saying that the \\server\ is not reachable. And after that ALL Win machines are thrown off the network. Quite dramatic. What gives?
