I ran e2fsck -f /dev/hda1 and get the following:
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking reference counts
Pass 4: Checking group summary information
/dev/hda1: 46180/256512 files (0.7% non-contigous), 219194/512064 blocks
Thats it.

Everything should still be on warranty ( I just built it a 3 weeks ago), Would a dif
hd prevent this in the future? Or are we talking a dif. m/b? It is a socket a system
with apollo via kt133 chipset on a matsonic 8127c m/b. Would I be better off spending
the extra $80 on asus a7v?

Kernel 2.2.18. I a startup script in rcS.d which contains this line 'hdparm -d 1 -c 1
/dev/hda', but the boot process never gets that far. Running hdparm /dev/hda1 shows
me that dma is off, and 32 bit transfers are off as well. This is b/c script has not
run yet.

I do not have a /proc/pci, only a proc/bus/pci
/proc/bus/pci/devices has only numerical contents. /proc/ide/drivers lists
ide-disk version 1.08
and /proc/ide/ide0/model lists
pci
If this dma/VIA is a problem w/ this m/b, would it affect me even though hdparm tells
me dma is disabled?
What are the chances that a this hdd would work (as is) under the asus a7v?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions.
Thanks helping Gary.
