hye gurus,
I notice a strange thing with a seagate ST32155W.
The linux box was roughtly powerred off (thanx to bob who unpluged the
alimentation), and during the next boot I got a time out to the SCSI
BioS detection, and during the linux boot process, I get a "Spinning up
disk ........." and a time out.
I reboot and reboot again and it still doesnot work.
I open the box, unplug the disk and replug it and IT WORK ! I cant
explain it !
Here is the dmesg (dont think it could help)
