Description Ruediger Hahn 2008-04-02 11:53:36 UTC 
Detailed description:
With a dying IDE-drive at least on kernel version 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 there was sometimes a dmesg output like the following:
----
hdd: dma_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdd: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=199907788, high=11, lo
w=15358412, sector=199907781
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 199907781
----
Anyhow the system kept on working.

Newer kernels (at least since 2.6.24-r3) don't show this message any more. Instead, the system load increases until it becomes unavailable and has to be reset.


Latest failing kernel version: 
Linux version 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 (gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1))

Latest known working kernel version:  
Linux version 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 (gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1))
