Re: Re: Wtr.: Re: 2.6.15.1+reiser4 Kernel Panic

Hi all,

I've had brand new drives fail the moment power was applied - sometimes even the
best just get a bad drive through.

You could try using smartmontools to non-destructively find out what the drive
thinks of itself - a blog entry describing one person's adventures with these
tools is here: http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/tag/drive

Good luck, I hope this gives you some useful information.

David
