Being "hdb" may indicate that it's connected to the same controller as "hda" and might not be jumpered for slave. Or it might be a bad cable, a controller which doesn't like two drives, a dubious power connector, etc. Or if he doesn't have an hda, perhaps the kernel doesn't like a secondary drive without a primary. Being hdb instead of sdb with a new kernel indicates he is using a config which may get a lot less testing these days, perhaps? In any case, I doubt he had two bad drives, so something else is more likely. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S1752538AbZAYVB0 (ORCPT ); Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:01:26 -0500 Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org id S1751364AbZAYVBR (ORCPT ); Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:01:17 -0500 Received: from main.gmane.org ([80.91.229.2]:33958 "EHLO ciao.gmane.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751344AbZAYVBQ (ORCPT ); Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:01:16 -0500 X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/ To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org From: Bill Davidsen Subject: Re: hdb: status error: error=0x40 <3>{ UncorrectableError } Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:01:01 -0500 Message-ID: <497CD30D.80203@tmr.com> References: <3f9a31f40901251239k3e368feeib33661d82497725b@mail.gmail.com> <20090125204603.2ccb5169@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Complaints-To: usenet@ger.gmane.org Cc: kernel-testers@vger.kernel.org X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host: pool-68-236-142-151.alb.east.verizon.net User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.19) Gecko/20081217 Fedora/1.1.14-1.fc9 pango-text SeaMonkey/1.1.14 In-Reply-To: <20090125204603.2ccb5169@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Alan Cox wrote: > On Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:09:56 +0530 > Jaswinder Singh Rajput wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> I added extra IDE drive I get similar messages like below so I replace >> it another drive but I am still getting similar error messages on >> 2.6.29-rc2-tip: >> >> hdb: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } >> hdb: status error: error=0x40 <3>{ UncorrectableError }, >> LBAsect=208845, sector=0 > > Uncorrectable Error is an error from the drive, not the kernel.
