It's usually a problem with the drives. I used to have a similar problem with an older Seagate drive, but only after replacing my old mainboard with its BusLogic Bt742A EISA controller with an NCR 53c810. I finally gave up fighting against it, and simply didn't log the first error. (The first retry did always succeed, so other than a slightly reduced throughput, there was no ill side-effect from this.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
