Hi!
I bougth a Sata hdd, Samsung HD160JJ, and I'm having some troubles running linux on it.
The first problem was that debian installer didn't want to install debian, the instalation starts but stops when instation progress is at 31 %. The debug said:
Code:
ata1: command 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x21
ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC ASCQ 0xb/47/00
ata1: status=0xd0 { Busy }
sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002
sda: Current: sense key: Aborted Command
Additional sense: Scsi parity error
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector $some_sector
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFF7
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFF7
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0xEFF7
I managed to fix that by formating the linux partition to NTFS and than again format it to reiserfs. Than the installation worked.
When the installation finished I boot debian to install some aditional packages and during the installation I got the same message as above. Than the system crashes.
My partition table is:
1. Windows C: 20 GB FAT32 (/dev/sda1)
2. Windows D: 80 GB NTFS (dev/sda2)
3. Linux swap : 1 GB /dev/sda3
4. Linux root: 54 GB /dev/sda4 ReiserFS
I'm using debian testing.
Please help!!!
PS. I ran sefl-diagnose with DOS program named Hutil(I have downloaded it from Samsung's web site) and it returned that disk is OK!
