ATA2 error messages during boot (non-fatal). How to fix?
I add a new Hitachi drive to my laptop as a second drive, and I've got a couple problems with it, neither fatal, but I've not been able to figure out any resolution.
First: My hardware
HP dv9708us
ADM Turion 64-bit dual processor
3Gb RAM
Fujitsu 160 Gb SATA drive ( sda)
Hitatchi 320 Gb SATA drive ( sdb)
nVidia sound and video
Atheros wireless G (ATH_PCI driver - ATH5 still fails on this hardware)
Now, my (non-fatal) problems. (Both, I think, from the same root cause.)
1) GRUB can't boot from the Hitachi drive. It times out trying to read the drive.
2) When I boot Fedora 9 on sdb from sda, I get the following errors:
Code:

Then the system runs with no further problems. (In fact, I'm using it to start this thread.)
Any suggestions welcomed. :scratch: |
