Right, I forgot this one. Check if you don't have an old cd-drive on the same IDE cable.
- Hdparm optimizing the ATA channel and IDE disk incorrectly
Did you tweak this?
- Many, many others
But in every case I had, when the drive _had_ worked prior without issue, it was a kernel upgrade and that ATA driver. As I mentioned before, there have been many documented cases of this, as well as the politics of the ATA code in the kernel (around 2.4.18-19 IIRC).
Hi Manuel!
My IDE set up is as follows:
IDE channel 0 -- IBM 40GB UDMA 100 7200 RPM drive 2MB buffer --- Segate 120GM UDMA 100 7000 RPM drive 8MB buffer
IDE channel 1 --- TDK CD-ROM drive 24X --- TDK CD-RW drive 16x burn, 48x read
Both controller cables are UDMA 100 compatible.
