Hi All,

I have noticed the following message occuring in my /var/log/messages. Does anyone know what it may mean.

Sep 19 10:12:36 sclx1 kernel: IT8212Interrupt: error!
Sep 19 10:12:36 sclx1 kernel: MapError: error register is 84

Sep 19 10:12:36 sclx1 kernel: I/O error: dev 08:12, sector 212868408


I am using Redhat 9.0 with a gigabyte 7N400 Pro 2 motheroard. Four disks are configured as two RAID 1 devices in the bios.

Is one of the disks failing as the sytem does freeze occassionaly? If this is the case how do I decide which one of the four is failing? They are on a rack so it is quite esay to remove one and replace but obviously I only want to replace the failing drive.

Thanks in advance for all your help

Ben

scr02bcg,

I've never known a SCSI controller not to have a HDD diagnostic program. Watch the messages at boot time for a keyboard option (I've seen ^A or ^S) that when pressed brings you into a config screen for the RAID controller. Once inside of there, what to do next should be readily apparent.
