It seems like I wasn't clear. Let me try to clarify: On 2.4.27, I get the CRC errors (not at boot time, later, and all the time thereafter), and I've been having them for many years. I mentionned just in case there might be a link with my problem. Otherwise, I am not trying to solve this particular problem. On 2.6.x, at boot time, errors are reported on the initial filesystem check. I do not know if I still have those CRC errors. I will try to see tonight or tomorrow if I can manage to get some logs as Douglas suggested. I will also try to look at what driver is in use also. Looking at my config-2.6.18 file: http://www-etud.iro.umontreal.ca/~duranlef/linux-config/config-2.6.18 it's hard to guess. All I know is that all SATA support is disabled. -- Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
