Hello, This isn't exactly Debian specific, but maybe someone here knows what the problem is ... ?
I have an old P120 laptop with a 1Gig drive. This drive is acting up
quite a lot lately. At the bottom of the email is an example of the log
messages.
I am wondering if it may be LBA related... the BIOS's autodetection did
set LBA to true, 32-bit IO to false. (I've set this to true in the past,
but when I got these messages I reverted to the autodetected false.)
hdparm's output:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 527/64/63, sectors = 2125220, start = 0
I had lba32 in lilo.conf at some point, but I removed this. (Is this
only relevant at boot time, for lilo btw? I.e. if lilo has no problems
with it I can have lba32 in there anyway?) I also have "compact" in my
lilo.conf, so that it boots a little faster. Is this hardware failure,
or misconfiguration?
Thanks,
Hugo van der Merwe
