[1.] One line summary of the problem:
ide messages during boot caused by a strange partition table
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
hello,
i tried to install over an old win95 partition a
dos6.2.
it mangled badly the partition table and now linux
during the boot spews a lot of message like
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound },
LBAsect=1052835654, high=62, low=12648262, sector=1052835654
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound },

LBAsect=1052835654, high=62, low=12648262, sector=1052835654
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ide0: reset: success
after about 1 minute of printing these error messages the
kernel "give up" and boot correctly.
the partition table is

The sector number appears valid for the drive (assuming the drive
9733 255 63 geometry is correct), so that looks like a bad block on the
disk and nothing to do with partition tables.

thank you for your reply.
maybe this is a concidence, but i saw the problem the first
boot of linux after the (attempted) dos installation.
the disk is this

is it correct that the max lba sect is LBAsects=156368016 and the kernel
is asking for 1052835654, 10 times more ?

No you are right - I miscounted the digits in the original report.
I'm still dubious the partition table is involved unless you've since
booted Windows and the two have been overwriting bits of each other.
What tool created the broken partition table - do you know, and which OS
was installed first ?

the disk before was correctly booting linux and windows2000.
then i used the dos6.22 fdisk (?? unsure about the exact dos version)
to delete and recreate a partition. then a began a format /s and
interrupted hafway because it was too slow.
i am not sure that the partition i deleted with fdisk was the first of
the disk.
It was some time ago, i dont remember clearly.

The DOS fdisk will rewrite the C/H/S values on the drive in some cases
if the drive is a vaguely modern setup. That will trash all the
partition data you have and can lead to corruption of the data too. If
you are luck the drive geometry originally used may match the one in
hdparm -I
If you can work out the original geometry values then put those back and
fsck all the partitions with file systems on them you may be ok.
