HDD error on boot...


The kernel is displaying the following error when booting:

Mar 16 20:11:18 vpn kernel: hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Mar 16 20:11:18 vpn kernel: hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

I have Slackware 9.0 with 2.24.25 kernel

¿How I Solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help

I can't claim any expertise with these particular messages but based on what I've read around the net:

1) Your drive is starting to fail. Some people have reported errors like this when drives are going bad.

2) You have old/uunusual hardware and maybe it can't do dma - try the boot argument ide0=nodma

3) Bad cables. Check connections, replug, swap.

If you type the error message into google and search you may find more possibilities.

I normally only see messages like this for cdrom drives when there is no media in the drive.
