I could use some advice on replacing/fixing my router. I have a Soekris 4801 with an aging 2.5" 30 GB ATA drive that is starting to worry me:
$ grep geode /var/log/messages May 20 15:07:17 cherry /netbsd: geodeide0:0:0: lost interrupt May 20 15:07:17 cherry /netbsd: geodeide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x1 These errors send the OS into a tailspin. The machine stops responding even though das blinkenlights show the disk hard on. The board is getting old, but I assume these messages are caused by an impending disk failure. Is it fair to expect another 5 years from the electronics, or is it time to replace it? If so, with what? Replacing a drive is an option if I can find a good one. Afaict ATA drives with a 5-year warranty don't exist anymore, whether spinning or solid-state. Suggestions? Many thanks for the benefit of your experience. --jkl _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
