Hi all. a few days ago, I had 82.3GB disk installed on my box as primary slave. after that, I turned it on and reading messages of kernel, and found messages that means 'hdb' recognized smoothly. that's good. badly, I found some error messages too, and noticed booting is very slower than before. the messages is below.
