by Before a hard drive failure, I had Linux installed and
running fine, (although I had no idea how to use it..)
My new replacement drive is Seagate's new version of my old 2.5 gig IDE
drive. Unfortunately, Linux (RH50) is not installing on said drive.
The error message I get occurs when it tries to format the partition I
have set for the root file system.
It reads soething like this:
###Quote:> adding swap 129020k swap_space (priority -1)
<4> hda: read_intr: status=0x59 {DriveReady ...
... SeekComplete DataRequest Error}
<4> hda: read_intr: error=0x10 {SectorIdNotFound}...
... LBA sect=########
The error repeats gazillions of times, with ### being an some huge
number.
Does anyone know what this means, or how I can fix it?
Should I send the drive back for another model?
Would anyone responding also do so by e-mail as well as on the group?
Thanks in advance.
