when there is "hard" disk activity (compiles and so on) sometimes the
screen gets filled with:

hda: status error: status = 0x00 {}
hda: device not ready for command

ide0: reset: success
hda: read_intr: status = 0xd0 {busy}
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06, sector 1261595

ide0: reset: success
hda: read_intr: status = 0xd0 {busy}
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06, sector (another number here)

(sometimes also apears here something about e2fsck errors in
filesystem, but it scrolls too fast to read it)

ide0: reset: success
hda: read_intr: status = 0xd0 {busy}
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06, sector (another number here)

...
..
.

And after this it usually gets hard locked, but sometimes seems like
nothing has happened until when you reboot and the filesystem is
checked.

I know that the disk it's not the problem because I am using it under
NoTechnology and under linux 2.0.3x with no problems, it's a Seagate.

The motherboard it's a Gigabyte 586dx with the onboard scsi 7880
disabled and all irq's to only one device (ie, no sharing)

quartz syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
quartz kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
quartz kernel: Loaded 6088 symbols from /usr/src/linux/System.map.
quartz kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.1.95.
quartz kernel: Error seeking in /dev/kmem
quartz kernel: Error adding kernel module table entry.
^^^^^ don't know why ther's such errors at the beginnig, this is
the beginnig of the session messages, but seems that nothing extrange
happens, and the booting process continues.

That's all, I know that the 2.1 series are developmente releases, but
I think it could be interesting to take some risks.

P.S. It's a copy of a message that I sent on April 16, since then
nothing has changed, now I'm "using" 2.1.96 (couldn't compile 97) and
I tink that the problem is the writes, when the activity is reading
it's OK, but when there are writings I get this messages.
the sysrq works and I think that my fsck's are less heavys because of
"emergency Sync"

I can give you as much info as you want, just ask for it, since I
don't know what do you need exactly.
