Subject: Kernel panic on PC with broken hard drive, after DMA errors
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 03:29:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060309032920.GD10330@deprecation.cyrius.com> (raw)
My laptop hard drive recently died (or is in the process of dying).
HP wanted me to do some more tests before sending me a replacement, so
I tried booting Linux again today. I got lots of DMA errors, which
was really to be expected, but then I got a kernel panic. While I'd
not blame the kernel when a panic occurs with broken RAM or CPU, I'm
sure sure the kernel should panic just because of a broken IDE drive.
I posted a picture of the panic at http://cyrius.com/tmp/ide_panic.jpg
Is this something that can be fixed or is my hardware really so broken
that the kernel cannot deal with it?
