Hello,

lately one of our ancient pc's running 2.0.34 had these kind of messages

hda: dma_intr:status=0x71 { DriveReady DeviseFault
SeekComplete Error}

hda: dma_intr:error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound } LBA
Sector=3309840 Sector=1671210

this is the hdparm output

/dev/hda:

Model=FUJITSU MPD3043AT, FwRev=DD-03-44, SerialNo=05043578
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
RawCHS=8940/15/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=0(?), BuffSize=512kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=0(slow)
CurCHS=8940/15/63, CurSects=8448300, LBA=yes, LBAsects=8448300
tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: mword0 mword1 mword2
IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4

does this mean that the HD is developing unusable sectors or there are
configuration errors?
can somebody enlighten me on this one?

TIA
