I have had FreeBSD 3.1 (minimal install) installed on my PPro 200 clone for 2 weeks and have noticed a hard drive making a random "tink" noise (this is not a usual sound). Also 2 days ago I got an error: wd0s1e:wdstart:time out waiting to give command writing fsbn7776 of 7776-7787 (wd0s1e bn608640; cn75tn60sn60)(status 1error2) My questions are, what is this error? does this error relate to the "tink" noise I hear? Does this mean a hard disk is about to fail or could it be that FreeBSD is not picking up the BIOS info on the hard disk? Here is my hardware: Pentium Pro 200 QDI Motherboard 128 MB RAM 3.2 GB Quantum Fireball H.D. 1.6 GB Western Digitial Caviar H.D. 24x IDE CDROM 10BaseT PCI Ethernet Any info on this problem would be REALLY appreciated!
