Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
Hi,
Since I upgraded the hard disk of my Thinkpad T61 to a Seagate Momentus
7200.3 the system crashes intermittently. This occurs when the
G-protection of the Seagate hard disk parks the heads because of
movement and the hard disk is accessed at the same time. Usually, it can
be reproduced by moving the computer (I can hear the heads then parking
several times) and for example searching through the bookmark menu in
Firefox. The menu then freezes, usually I can initially switch to a
different program, then only mouse movements are possible. If I switch
to a text console and try to log in this is not completed and after a
time the following error messages appear (I catched the messages with a
digital camera as they cannot be saved because of the hard disk
malfunction):
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x3 SErr 0x50000 action 0xe frozen
ata1: SError: { PHYRdyChg CommWake }
ata1.00: cmd ...
res ...
ata1.00 status { DRDY }
ata1.00: cmd ...
res ...
ata1.00 status { DRDY }
ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)
and later:
Buffer I/O error on device sda8, logical block ...
EXT3-fs error (device sda6): ext3_find_entry: reading directory ...
Please find the screenshots attached. The only way to get out of this is
to hold down the power button for several seconds until the system turns
off. The Magic-SysRq key does not work.
I suspect that the kernel has a problem with the delay that occurs while
the heads are parked. Is there any way to increase this timeout?
I would be very happy if somebody could help solving the problem. Many
thanks in advance!
Karl Martin
