Syscontrol activation = problem on boot

Syscontrol activation = problem on boot

[mahashakti89]

Hi !

This is my first post on this list, and I could need some help
to know if I made something wrong or if it is a bug ....

I compiled a new kernel and activated following option

General Setup > Sysctrl Support

in order to be able to use hotplug , udev  .....

But on boot I become following error message concerning
my second harddisk (/dev/hdb) which is dedicated to my
old Win2k system :

  Nov 12 19:15:13 ishwara kernel: hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 { 
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

 > Nov 12 19:15:13 ishwara kernel: hdb: read_intr: error=0x04 { 
DriveStatusError }
 > Nov 12 19:15:13 ishwara kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
 > Nov 12 19:15:13 ishwara kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, 
sector 78172098
 > Nov 12 19:15:13 ishwara kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdb5, 
logical block 61785735

it can last two or three minutes and then I have accsess to my
Gnome Desktop.

This arrives on a 2.6.7 or 2.6.9 kernel if I try to activate Sysctrl
in General Setup, if I deactivate it, I have not such error messages ....

To resume it : Is it a bug ? Or did I make something wrong ? Forget some 
options ?


System : Pentium 4 2,8Ghz
          Motherboard Asus P4P 800
          Chipset I865PE
          and two Maxtor ATA-Harddisks

Thanks for helping

I have similar errors, but they don't give me any problems (except that it 
looks bad).
Can you mount and use the harddisk?

Regards,

Norbert

Looks like an old harddisk that does not understand an IDE command.

Do you think that's normal? I can come up in less than 60 secs. (80x25), so I
presume boting X does not take much more time than 3 minutes.
What do you mean by "last"? Does the error message stay there and the box is
like, idle? No other stuff scrolling through?

Well, error message there or not -- I suspect it to be the hard disk.
Take it out (i.e. remove IDE cable) and reboot Linux.
If it takes the same amount of time to bootup, the hard disk is probably fine.
Ignore the warnings then.

It lasts for two or three minutes  -sorry my english ...
Does the error message stay there and the box is
> like, idle? No other stuff scrolling through?

Its scrolling the same message for two minutes and what I have posted is 
the end of the message, then I am logging into X.
