Your HARD DRIVE have a data transmitting error or malfunction on transmitting path without disk. (The trouble is on memory, chip set, IDE-cable, HDD-Circuit(DMA). HDD dish is OK.) DMA I/O was designed with 2 separated unit (control-unit and data-unit) The trouble is on control-unit part. Vivard/smartctl only explains your data-unit is OK. >>dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } >>http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg128610.html -Tsuyoshi.
