Hi, I patched the BIOS of that computer with the latest patch. The good news is that it solved few things (not related) that I thought to myself that they are not right, and in I was shucked to see that I'm actually right ... The bad news is that it did not solve my problem at all. I tried

Hi, Well I have this new computer, when I installed debian stable on it, I kept on getting dma_errors messages, and badblocks found some bad sectors. Now I have few questions (sorry if some of them are annoying ;)): 1. Is there any patch for the Kernel that makes this type of error messages

One could assume so. Bad blocks are being reported when there are bad blocks. No more, no less. It might be that the hard drive suffers from temperature problem, and starts failing only after X hours of continues work. It might be that the disk is failed right from the start, and the person
