Should I worry about it? Is the drive > damaged? Nope. This is a bug in the 2.4.x ide driver. I sent in a patch for it a while back that made it into 2.6, but not into 2.4. Basically, the 2.4.x ide driver always asks the drive if it supports HPA. In this case, your drive is old and doesn't know what an HPA is, and complains. Some older drives get confused and have to be power cycled when this happens. http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/8/22/193 -Erik -- Erik B.
