Hello All, I know that this question has been asked in the past (according to the archives), but I have not been able to find a solution to this problem (in the archives.) First of all here's the system specs as well as OS. Supermicro P6DNE (yeah I know..it's old...) Bios Rev 1.8d (the latest one.) 64 Megs of Ram 8 gig Seagate U4 Model ST 38421A drive. Dual 166 Mhz (512k cache) procs OS: Redhat ver 7.0 with kernel 2.2.16. I've also tried 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 (with the stock kernels.) Just recently I've been getting this error popping up on the console: hda: irp timeout: Status=0xd0 {Busy} **AS WELL AS** hda: irp timeout: Status=0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest} Now I will mention that I have replaced the harddrive in this system 4 times. Each time was because the drive started acting up (and these messages were appearing.) The latest drive, which is less that 3 months old, will make all sorts of clicking sounds...just like all the previous drives, and the system load would go up beyond 2.0, just for a simple 'ls' command. Has anyone been able to come up with a solution to this problem?? I have already tried using a POST probe as well as Microscope 2000. They both state that nothing is wrong with the system.
