I've been using 4.1.1-RELEASE on my machine. Lately, my hard disk starts whirring noisily for a period ranging from 3 to 15 secs during which the hdd led shines very bright and the machine *almost* stops responding. A few secs later, everything comes back to normal and the following appears in /var/log/messages: Oct 19 10:23:10 mercury /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting Oct 19 10:23:10 mercury /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. device dissapeared! 1 ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c6 s=80 e=00 Oct 19 10:23:10 mercury /kernel: done Any ideas, as to what is happening? Or just a coupla loose connections? chyrag. -- Chirag Kantharia http://slashetc.net/chyrag/ GCS/IT/B/E/MU/TW d->! s-:- a-->?
