hdc:status timeout
Frequently I am getting this error message. My machine is on rh7.1.
" :hdc:status timeout:status=0xdo {Busy} hdc: no DRQ after issuing WRITE ide1:reset:success " Can you help me ? Thanks a lot for your Time and Space. Manya |
Is /dev/hdc a cdrom drive? I've gotten similar messages on old scratched up cd's which could only be partially read. If it isn't a cdrom drive then the harddisk might be corrupt. You could try scanning for bad blocks.

Depending on your system and/or the type of drive, you might need to tune your DMA and I/O parameters using hdparm. And of course- check your drive's cabling/connections.
There is an article here which describes how to check and change drive parameters with hdparm. |
Hi
There is nothing on /dev/hdc. O/p of mount does not not show any thing mounted on /dev/hdc. It has /dev/hdc8 on / /dev/hdc1 on /boot /dev/hdc6 on /home /dev/hdc5 on /usr /dev/hdc7 on /var I tried to work out something with hdparm as well. hdparm -X66 -c3 -u1 -d1 -m16 /dev/hdc* but this as well not working. problem still remains. I even checked all my cable connections. Possibly I will not get it in single user mode. System is in under test(single user) for last 3 hours with out errors. I dont know why. Please help. Thanks a lot for your Time and Space. Manya |
you don't seem to understand the ide referencing method..
hdc is a reference to the physical device, A harddrive, a cdrom drive, and ls120 disk drive etc... hdc1 is a partition upon a harddrive. so you DO have hdc. hdparm works up a device, and not a partition, operations of DMA or PIO modes operates outside the scope of partitions. just try 'hdparm /dev/hdc' to start off with, IF that's going to help at all. |
you may be right. but your solution is not helping me out. I know that /dev/hdc is there and refers to device. Actually, when nothing works I go for all possible options.
Give me solution !!!!! Anyway, thanks for the comments. Manya |
