Quantom 2.5G Hard-Disk problem.
Hi,
I have a disk problem, which cause the machine to halt (It sometimes
happand few minutes after I start Linux).
I used to think it is the kernel (2.0.18), but it was upgraded since
(2.0.27) and the problem is still there.
I would like to ask if anyone has the same disk as mine and weather
the same problem was experienced.
More info
---------
- P/133, soyo HX (Triton III) mother board with a Quantum IDE 2.5G hard disk.
- It is definitly hardware problem, because after hardware reset, a disk
failure error (20) is reported. Only turning off, than on again, makes the
disk operational. I suspect the disk than the motherboard's (soyo hx) chipsets
or settings and last the on-board IDE controller.
- It happands only under Linux, which let me believe, it uses some advanced
feature of the disk, not used by Windogs. This puts the disk in a certain
state, which is not reset due to a bug.
- The error has something to do with the swap space. The error can occur when
running any program. In some, I get a more detailed error, which point to
the swap.
Thanks,
Shlomo.
