Hello,I am facing a strange problems with an old 1.2 GHz P-III machine with a 10 GB disk (used as a dedicated web server, later retired out of service!). Out of interest to implement some wireless solution (experiment), I did compile 2.6.20.7 for my requirement. Strangely, I did observe:- hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0 What might be the problem? ~Akula2
Opcode 0xb0 is "WIN_SMART". Error 0x04 is "command aborted/rejected/unsupported". Something on your system is issuing S.M.A.R.T. commands from userspace to the drive, and the drive either (1) doesn't support S.M.A.R.T., or (2) currently does not have S.M.A.R.T. enabled (smartctl -s on /dev/hda). The "smartmontools" package is what normally issues these commands. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
