hda: FUJITSU MPB3064ATU, 6187MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=788/255/63, UDMA
The motherboard is an ASUS TX motherboard (I dont have the specs in front
of me at the moment.) Tried the following kernels to "play" with it.
2.0.34-pre6 (Red Hat 5.1 installation)
2.0.35 (Red Hat 5.1 installation)
The following errors show up on "random" sectors of the drive during the
boot of the kernel if UDMA is turned on:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { BadSector DriveStatusError }, LBAsect=329593,
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { BadSector DriveStatusError }, LBAsect=1505805,
Turning off UDMA via the motherboard cleared up the problem, and no
sectors show up "bad" when looked at with "norton" or similar disk
utilities.
I am guessing this may be one for a "black-list" of UDMA drives.
