Hi,
ok heres the story, i have 3 machines here, i run slackware 3.3, 1 out =
of 3 of the machines works perfectly.
that one machine is actually an acer aspire.
on the one other machine, i had slackware installed, up and running =
perfectly, no probs whatso ever,
until one day i got a whole bunch off errors.
i couldnt get them exact, but here are a few examples
end_request I/O .......etc
DMA failiure etc...
{Drive Seek Not Ready}
hda request timeout=20
irq failure
but its more like pages of this crap
cant exactly type it all.
when i first got this problem i was using slackware 3.2
i then removed that and reinstalled slackware 3.3, the installation was =
ok, no probs, then first time i booted up, it froze and gave me all the =
error messages. then the next time i tried reinstalling it stuffed on =
the installation this time, with the same errors.
I thought it mightve been my network card or sound card so i tried =
removing all the non essential hardware and even putting in another hard =
drive. and it still did the same, ive tried playing with EVERYTHING in =
the bios, changing the hard drive mode from LBA to NORMAL
ive tried creating the partitions in msdos (by the way ms windows works =
no probs on the same machine)
ive tried new boot disks, basically all i could think of,
then i thought it may be my motherboard,
but then when i tried installing it on another of my machine, i have the =
exact same problems, and this machine was running redhat perfectly on it =
before,
any ideas would be greatly appreciated cause im really stuck here,
thanks
