To be sure it's our problem.
Ok, I've found a way to reproduce it without loading any prop. stuff. 1. boot with init=/bin/sh 2. run hdparm -S 1 /dev/sda 3. run hddtemp /dev/sda 4. immediate oops another hang: 1. boot with init=/bin/sh 2. run hdparm -y /dev/sda Nevertheless, as promised I rand without hddtemp for about a day. I got this single error: ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0x25/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x4/00/00 ata2: status=0x25 { DeviceFault CorrectedError Error } SCSI error : <1 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002 sda: Current: sense key: Hardware Error Additional sense: No additional sense information end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 240910336 I will reverse apply the patch and proceed w/o hddtemp/hdparm... lets see whether it survives this night.
