Hi,
 
I'm trying to put a 20MB Maxtor 2B020H1 into an old P166 RedHat 8.0 box.
 
It seems to mount fine and everything, but there are a bunch of i/o seek errors towards the end of the drive. Something like:
 

Quote:Sep 10 12:50:39 genbaby kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }Sep 10 12:50:39 genbaby kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40
UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=16210739, sector=16210584
Sep 10 12:50:39 genbaby kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:41 (hdb), sector 16210584

 
 
The drive is an ext3 partition mounted at /home.
 
I've checked the cabling and all seems well.
 
BIOS: set at automatic detection for LBA mode. I tried in Normal mode as well. Should I try Large mode?
 
What could be causing the trouble?
