Date: Thu, 25 Jan 1996 11:14:46 +1100 Organization: Telstra Internet Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3106CB76.41C67EA6@telstra.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pizza.telstra.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b6a (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) I got the following sytem message : /kernel: wd0: interrupt imeout: /kernel: wd0: status 5a<seekdone,drq,index> error 0 /kernel: wd0: interrupt imeout: /kernel: wd0: status 5a<seekdone,drq,index> error 1<no_dam> System has 500Mb EIDE plus 2Gb Seagate SCSI disk on Adaptec 2940 PCI controller System ceased soon after with disk problems requiring fsck from single user Is this indicative of bad memory chips or bad EIDE disk ? I am assuming the scramble on the SCSI disk is merely a by-product.
