Installion: Uncorrectable Error

1998-08-17 Thread Kenneth Smart
I am trying to install debian onto a partition on my second hard drive,
I get finished installing, and making my boot floppy, by i get a lot of
error messages,when I reboot to continue installion. There are so many
messages after a while the computer just sits there, and doesnt do
anything.  I tried reinstalling probably 20+ times, and it is still
doing this, I got further than that once, but there was another problem
later on, in hardware, so was going to reinstall, and it is screwed up
again, the error message that I get is:

hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error}
hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 {UnCorrectable Error}, CHS=40/3/25
sector=34548
end_request: I/O Error, dev 03:42, sector 34548

Any info on this message would really help, I get so many of them, they
just fill up the whole screen. Even the time I got past them, I still
had them, just not as many. If it matters, I have a Pentium 100mhz 24
RAM Linux Partition=225 megs and I am installing from a CD, which I
purchased at linuxcentral.com
