Re: ide drive dying?

[mbs <mbs@mc.com>]

forgot to say: my drive worked fine with 2.4.19-pre3-ac5-preempt before the 
move to the -20 kernel.

also worked fine after a fdisk/reinstall and continued to work fine till the 
first time I booted on a (freshly built) -20-ac version.

I thought it was the drive so I replaced it with a brand new drive, and had 
_EXACTLY_ the same failure pattern.

------

same problem I was having with 2.4.20-pre4-ac2-preempt.

alan didn't want to hear it from me due to the -preempt

my system was e7500 chipset, dual xeon, WD 40g drive, ext2 or ext3.

from this we can glean: preempt not a factor, HD manufacturer not a factor, 
FS not a factor.  don't know what chipset you are using.

I was allso geting badCRC errors.
