I just bought a Seagate ST3200822A 200 Gb ATA/UDMA 100 drive for a new install on my computer. 4 days after installation I started getting the following problem. When the computer boots up it almost always stalls on running hdparm on disc. When it starts (which can take up to 15 restarts) I get the following message in /var/log/messages: hda: dma_intr: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } ide: failed opcode was: unknown I've posted a thread on the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2370705.html#2370705 I have contacted Seagate and I've ran the Seatools Diagnostics Program which the drive passed (as well as the smartmon test). So this leaves me with a big questionmark.

I believe the problem is resolved since the problem and log is gone the last couple of reboots. I'm not quite sure what resolved it... I did the following: * Enabled # CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE on recomendation from NeddySeagoon (no change at first reboot) * Disabled cups * Disabled hpoj * Disabled rdate script * Changed RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc to no * Recompiled the kernel from scratch
I believe it is hpoj or cups, since removing these resolves it. Enabling them leaves me with the problem (if anyone finds themself in a similar situation).
