Re: DriveReady SeekComplete Error...

[Dwayne Rightler]

I have a similar problem with a Samsung hard drive. Model SV2044D.  The
output of 'hdparm -i' below indicates it supports several multiword and
ultra DMA modes but if i run the drive in anything other than PIO mode it
gets DMA timeouts and SeekComplete Errors.  This has been on every kernel I
can recall in the 2.4 and 2.6 series.

demigod:~# hdparm -i /dev/hda
