If a > misconfiguration, what can I do about it? It looks like something is wrong with your IDE controller or your second IDE disk. You might check that nothing is using IRQ 14 or 15. Also check your cabling; your IDE cable may be slightly pulled out, or you have a dead or dying disk. The lockup is a result of the system blocking on the disk read. Eventually all the requests die and the system can continue to respond. > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0 > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0<busy,rdy,seekdone> error > 1<no_dam> > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command$ > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0<busy,rdy,seekdone> error > 1<no_dam> > Aug 17 15:58:35 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn > 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0<busy,rdy,seekdone> error 1<no_dam> > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: wdunwedge failed: > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1: status d0<busy,rdy,seekdone> error > 1<no_dam> > Aug 17 15:58:36 theta /kernel: wd1s1f: wdstart: timeout waiting to give > command writing fsbn 3604752 of 3604752-3604767 (wd1s1 bn 3883264; cn > 3852 tn 7 sn 7)wd1: status d0<busy,rdy,seekdone> error 1<no_dam> > Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo
