Another thing that came to my mind: Have you checked if your hard drive and the cables are ok? Are there any pending sectors or suspicious smart values? Has the drive passed the extended offline test?Otherwise, I can't reproduce the error with my MyBook system. I've testedyour kernel and it worked on the device without crashing. (I copied/dd'ed 80GB from and back to the hard-drive. It was long and boring, but I didn't encounter any issues and the crc32 matched). Sorry, but I can't help you if I can't reproduce it... And short of sending your box to test, I see no efficient way to debug it. However, what I can do, if you are interested: I have a few "build your own" My Book Live kits. It just needs a 3.5" hard-drive and 12v power adapter. If you are interested PM me off-list, this way you can verify that the kernels you build do work, just in case this error is due to a hardware issue (zapped controller, bad ram/drive/cable?) with your sam460ex box. Regards, Christian
My Hardware seems ok.I have swapped cables and drives between the SII3512 pci controller and the DWC controller.
No issues when connected to the SII3512 pci controller .The DWC controller works ok under AmigaOS 4.1FE so that does not appear to be a problem.
