Since a few days my PBG4 12" will not always boot completely. Somewhere
at the end of the boot sequence, just after it is loading some sound

hda: lost interupt,
hda: lost interupt, lost dma status: 8080
And then it hangs... Then I try again and all goes fine. Does this mean
my harddisk is not stable anymore
My iBook did this a few months ago and I nabbed the data after a
successful boot and then changed the hard drive (which was crazy hard to
me who is used to working on PC laptops; I had three screws left over of
about 30 removed when done :). No problems since then.
Man, that s*cks, this PowerBook is only half a year old. Could this be
caused by overheating and too much unneeded disk activity? If there are
any ways of keeping disk activity low, I'm really interested.
